Default Upgrading the fuel pump

Hey guys. It is time to upgrade the fuel pump in my '01 GT. It has the "spray" to it and some other goodies. The car has a dyno tune on it and the stock fuel pump is at its max. My question is to you guys, my mechanic has said that I need a SVO fuel pump because of the yr. of my car and among other things. The one that is used on the '03 cobras is a little bit pricey, so I'm gonna try the SVO fuel pump. Has anyone seen these SVO fuel pumps anywhere and if so, can anyone here tell me where I might find one and how much they are. All info is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I went with bigger fuel pumps on my car. I have (2) 04 cobra fuel pumps I'll sell them both for 30.00 each. Your stock GT pump is about 80 lph
These 04 Cobra pumps are 190 lph each. Going with one of these pumps you should be good to go on any future mods you want to do. Let me know if you want one or both of them.

30.00 is a damn good price, or you can opt for the walbro intank rated at 255lph its about 90.00 brand new.

Dual 03/04 cobra pumps require running the 03 tank, or your stuck keeping 1/4 tank of gas at all times. The best returnless option out there is the Aviator pump about 271 lph for around $150 or so.
