i wouldnt test it outside the tank.
to remove that fuel plump ring i use a very very dull wide chisel (really blunted on the enf and a rubber hanner and rapidly hei it without a lot of force. Imagine impact wrench tech. Works everytime from me.

Do the two tabs have anything to do with the removal? Is there anything locking it in place?

So when are you and Juan heading back to the dyno?

How much did the mazda tool cost? Did you get it from a dealer?

On your meth kits? are most of you using 60ml/min preblower and 100ml/min postblower nozzles? Those of you using MAF controlled kits, at what voltages are you setting it up for?

I tried the chisel and rubber hammer. No joy. I'm going to try and borrow a mazda tool from a fellow member. If that doesn't work, I am taking it to a local shop, since i'm not 100% sure the pump is the problem.

Anybody ever hear of national speed in wilmington, nc??

On a more positive note, the lower compression rotors for the renesis is great news!! This is what we have been waiting for. I personally will not do it cause my car is my dd, but with these rotors 400+ reliable hp should be the new benchmark. One of you pioneers who allready has these should (easy to say since its not my car) ask Cam for a custom pulley ration that will allow you to achieve the magical dyno queen #s!!

........To help the above person with the issue with the fuel pump removal if you have time to wait for delivery. If you have access to a Mac Tools dealer they have a tool for about 25$ I bought one and am still unsure to if it works yet, but heres the item number. FP940 Fuel Pump Removal Tool. It looks pretty legitimate might save you money rather then bringing it to a shop. I found this on an old post for an esmeril kit build.

Depends on what you want to use the car for. I would actually prefer taller gears with FI. However, I don't plan on tracking or dragging my car.

4.77 (in my opinion) is for people with lower power looking to perk up acceleration.
With FI power, it seems like a silly idea (for a street car, anyway)

the lower ratio is great for performance. the ratio provided by that diff and oem tire size is about the same as the oem diff and a 24.5 inch tall tire. i ran such a tire on the track for a little while. It provides better acceleration for the higher gears but i found myself having to use 6th gear even on short tracks. i would not do this on the street with our power band.
what i have found is a combo of the 09 trans and our powerband + oem rear is just the ticket i have been looking for.
3-4-5th gear are now very ,very good and very close in ratio. Yet 6th gear is a true overdrive allowing me to only turn 3.2K rpm at 65mph
hope that helps.
ps we dont need more power to get out of the corner when we cant do it under full throttle now?

By any chance would any of you happen to know if there is a large wait for the SCII right now? I would love to officially join this club soon.

concerning the water meth nozzle size you are correct i think. I run that size. I do adjust my maf controller to different settings from time to time depending on the weather and whether ot not i am on track etc.
One thing is VERY important---you have to keep cool air to the filter at all times . this is protect the s.c. from having to deal with HOT air. Tant'd good for long life.
