    I just loaded Cobb Stage 2 to my '04 FXT last night. So far, it pulls hard and even seems to run/idle smoother.

    Here's my set-up;
    - VF39
    - STi Ecu
    - STi TMIC
    - Individia Uppipe
    - Godspeed downpipe
    - STi axle-back

    I thought that the '04 FXT came with the same pump/injectors as the '04 STi. So I'm wondering if there is any reason to upgrade the fuel pump or am I OK with stock? If upgrade, recommendations?

    -Thanks

    Nope, he is using the STI ecu, so he will run the sti maps. And a fuel pump is cheap insurance on any car.

    Only way to tell for sure is a fuel pressure gauge. Like Russ said though, the pump is cheap. If you planned on running a fuel pressure gauge I'd get one (or borrow one). If not go for the pump.
