Did you bother to search at all? Hell, half the TS crowd have their mod list in their sigs.
You do not need a list. What you need is to do research, then come back with questions that haven't been covered 1000 times.

But, for the hell of it, here's a good list for fuel stuff...with plenty of options: http://www.svtperformance.com/forum...ystem-upgrade-options-what-you-need-know.html

As for the other stuff, you will need injectors (60# are popular), plugs (tr6/br7), a belt, idlers, handheld tuner, MAF extender (SCT BA or MAF.ia model).
Additionally, if you get the SBTB model, you will obviously need a SBTB.

Some good mods to have, but not are not entirely necessary: your preference of intake (JLT is very popular), heat exchanger, intercooler tank. You will want some suspension upgrades, too...along with tires.

Start with that.

EDIT: As a matter of fact, if you get all the crap in my signature (though, I recommend another intake), you will be in good shape for ~600 rwhp.

My mods are following:
2.3 Whipple, 3.0upper pulley only
Custom tune from rick @ amazon tuning solutions.
Mafia MAF
2 Ford GT supercar fuel pumps, modified stock hat. Wire upgrade.
Dual fuel pump driver modules.
63lb injectors.
JLT cold air intake.
Full idlers, heat exchanger, bigger intercooler tank (mine is batterybox location).
NKG tr6 plugs gapped at .32
head cooling mod.
X pipe and catback exhaust.
Subframe connectors.
And get an IRS brace.

mine is not 600rwhp, but probably close ( I would guess 575ish ).

Last tune was conservative, 10.8 AFR, 17 degrees timing. 540rwhp, 519ftlbs. using a 2.3 Gen 1 whipple with stock lower, 3" upper.

Since then I've changed to a 2.8" upper and seeing about 2lb more boost, along with a POSI ported stock trottlebody since I have the dual bore whipple inlet.

If I go E85, a Lethal Budget return fuel setup with 80lb injectors and probably around 4-5 degrees more timing, I would hope to get around 650rwhp.

You will need 60lb injectors for sure, and also a larger MAF. Cobra pumps should be fine, you can get by with a BAP and wire upgrade. Thats the route I took, made over 600 with no troubles.

+ this

Made 658 with 60lbers and a BaP.

you dont need to upgrade the fuel system any more than that unless you want to go more hp later and dont want to spend more $$ on labor

RAI will probably get you better #'s on the dyno but for street driving the the fenderwell intake will perform better.

upgrading the fuel system only by adding dule FBDM no need to change the OEM fuel pump?

Are you actually reading anything that's been posted? This question, along with your question about injectors, has been answered at least twice.

need some one to direct me:shrug:
All of the above posts either directly answer your questions about the fuel system or reference them. What more direction do you need?

What questions, specifically, do you have? That may allow us to better help you.

Again...go to THIS thread: http://www.svtperformance.com/forum...ystem-upgrade-options-what-you-need-know.html

It explains all of your options. You do not need to upgrade pumps for 600-650 rwhp. If you plan to add anything in the future and want to get it all done at once, then you may want to upgrade to FGT pumps. Read through the thread that I linked...it tells you about everything and explains most things in an understandable way.

This is what I had when I ran a 2.3 whipple. Fore rails, 60lb inj, Y block, 8-an fuel line from tank to y block, aeromotive fuel filter, 2 FPDM's, GT pumps and Fore hat. I had the stock TB with a JLT RAI and BA-3000 SCT MAF. I had an AFCO heat exchanger, Lethals IC tank and Morroso overflow tank. Exhaust I had Mac LT's, Lethal X pipe and Magnapacks catback. I started at 17lbs of boost and then I cranked it to 21lbs. Never never never did I have any type of fuel isssue. Hope this helps.

Write this down.

{Fuel}BAP w/ wire upgrade (uses stock pumps)
60s


{To avoid pegging the MAF and leaning out}
MAF
or MAFia

SCT xcal or better so you can also data log and tweak as you learn more.

Pulley and belt selection can be done after the above minimum mods are done.
There are other ways to get enough fuel, but Focus pumps are no longer the "hot set up" it once was thought to be.
