    Just curious to know how you guys like the chicane pulley? Im split between the chicane pulley $119 and the reichard racing pulley $150 which looks awesome being made of billet aluminum. Also i was curious to know if i will be able to get away with just a svt focus fuel pump without larger injectors or maf... i wouldnt want to spend all that money on a tune for the tuner to say i need them i need to come back again....

    the reichard pulley overall is better due to the grip design and the fact the ribs are deeper in the pulley, so you naturally get a better grip even without the cross cuts in the pulley. You could get away with just a focus pump, but as fast as that pump sucks up gas without a sumped tank, i'd look at getting a boost a pump or something along those lines

    Sumped tank? Im not exactly sure what that means. Basically what your saying is the svt focus pump will make my car burn more gas?

    not burn more gas, it has the ability to suck alot more up and go lean without a sumped tank. 03/04 cobras have a sumped tank, which in design basically keeps the gas from sloshing around during WOT and letting gas move away from the fuel pump to be picked up. As long as you didnt go WOT with less then say 1/4 tank, the focus pump might be just fine. THe problem with the focus pump is not its ability to keep up with the HP you make

    Is the pulley a 66mm pulley like Chicane sells? I have a 66mm on my car. I have had no problems with it at all. I do wish though that it looked nicer.
    I spent $96.00 dollars for it. Your saying its now $119.00?

    :D

    reichard has a stock size, and 2.6 which is the chicane size, and a 2.5 which is ever so slightly smaller
