How does the whipple s/c whine compare with the eaton?
Subjective, I know, but I'd have to say it emits almost the same whine. At idle, with the hood open, you can barely tell that the engine is ingesting more air than before.
Part throttle - no difference.
Full throttle, I'd have to say there is a hint that something has changed, but nowhere near what really small pulley's sound like. The exhaust takes over at that point. If I get some time to play around I'll mount my GoPro in a couple of different spots to try to give you some more accurate insight.
From a bolt on/in perspective, I'm not so sure about that. While I don't discount their machine work and engineering in any way, their hat doesn't have all the provisions the stocker does. They've eliminated the sprung portion that the stock pump assembly which utilizes four rubber feet that allow "vertical tension" with the pump making contact with the tank bottom. It looks like Fore hangs their pumps above the tank bottom....using a FORE fuel hat would alleviate all fuel pump install issues.
Furthermore, it looks as though it captures and locates the pumps via a pair of o-rings in a machined recess, but only keeps the pump from moving downward from hose clamp tension at the top of the pump. The pumps can only go down so far and at that point the pickup screens are being sandwiched against the tank bottom. If anyone from Fore, Lethal, etc, could comment on this it would definitely shed some light. At $420 just for the hat, it definitely isn't cheap.

You also need an adapter in order to mate with the stock line (another $45).

Then you have to add two Walbro GSS342 pumps, at a little over $100 each.

So at this level of modification, I think I'd rather just trim the corner of a connector and go with the FRPP pump. On that note, I still don't see the M-9H307-MSVTA FRPP kit pump listed on FRPP's site yet. So I don't know how this guy is getting them separate from the blower kits, but apparently they are now available.

I think $240 is a fair price for the pump assembly, modifications notwithstanding. FRPP dealers can probably beat that number.

On edit...steps 1-19 of the Mustang GT dual fuel pump kit install pdf gives you a pretty good idea of what you run into. Take the disclaimers and warnings very seriously...
