Garrett 3 1/2" thick. Fits between the bumper supports and mounts off of them.
Yeah you should have no problem, this 4.5" thick cooler is only about 3/4" away from the front bumper beam so thats why billy cut the beam to get some more space for airflow. I mounted my a little lower so that it still tucks under the roush fascia which is lower in the front and will get a good size cross secion with air flow.
Well off to tackle the fuel pump install.
Sounds like a fun project.

Yeah i have right now i want to get it on and working then go back and paint, coat, wrap, make it pretty lol[
The last time I checked, also would mean both; or was it you that did not understand bobby1110's post?
Most importantly... you said:

Good luck!! Ill be following along I like the price list!!
Ok so had a few snags during the dual pump install. Iniatilly everything went pretty good. went over to gregs again as 2 heads are always better than one. We got the pumps in the stock hat one ford gt pump in the stock location and second clamped to the ouside and wired them both together. The install kit came with crush clamps one time use deal and they sucked so we replaced all but one of them with worm gear clamps greg had in the garage. Install went pretty smooth was little harder to get the fuel hat back in with the extra hosing and pump but it went off without a hitch. Got it in and install the lock wring and rotated it into place no problem. Took 3-4 key cycle to prime the system and was seeing 55-60 psi on the fuel gauge at key on. Drove it around for 5 minutes and all looked good.
Went to leave gregs and the car was sputtering, checked fuel gauge and was at 5 psi. Fuel was just above e so we added 3-4 gallons. Still no pressue the fuel level sensor is tracking though which is good lol. So we figured a hose blew off one of the pumps and it turns out it was the one crush gear we used, slipped right of so one pump had no way to feed fuel and the other was just going back out the y, dope!
About this time Jesse (2L8IWON) showed up with his stang We all took a trip to advanced autos to get a worm gear clamp. Replaced the clamped.
Fate would have it now the hat is being a bitch to get in and the spring asselmby was sliping out from the top of the hat, and the crossover cable was giving us trouble to hook back up. So after installing and removing 4-5 times finally got it to go in. and the hat to didnt want to seat properly on the gasket. So had to mess with that over and over and finally got to sit flat and now the locking ring is giving us trouble. Spent 2-3 hours trying to get the damn locking ring on to no avail, bent and gashed the ring pretty good as well. The shitty thing is the first time in went smooth as butter and if the damn hose hadnt blown off we would have been good to go and wouldnt have had all this heartache.
So anyways car is down till we can get the locking ring on, but here are some pics of the install.

Disassembly to get the stock fuel pump out. Damn clusterfuck in there
Started installing the new pumps and hoses and t wires etc.
And a pic of it going back in

yea those things are a bitch to get in and out. i had that same set up before i went to the triple set up so i have had the pumps in and out of the car several times. and yes it is a bitch every time. it is like the tank needs to be slid back 3" or so to line up with the hole better.
Yeah i know if the dam hole in the tank was lined up with the hole in the car it would def be alot easier. We were at our wits end trying to get pressure on the ring to so it would sit flat to lock it into place. I got a find a new locking ring now.
Yeah i found it on there under fuel system, sending unit, retainer ring. calling some local dealers here to see if they have them instock.

you know there are 2 small tabs that if you line them up,then barely turn the hat,the hat will sit flush and will hold its self down right? then you just put the lock ring on and use 2 screwdrivers at the same time to rotate it,one screw driver on each side .getting the tabs lined up and getting the hat to sit fluch before messing with the lock ring is the key.

The FPDM should not have a problem running both of those correct? (will the FPDM wiring upgrade help that?)
Thats the plan, right now im running the stock single fpdm, with wiring upgrade(10 gauge wire with ran right off the battery) and the 2 ford gt pumps. This is how its been done on the previous gen stangs with a add a pump system. If the single cant handle 500-600rwhp i will add a second oem fpdm and wire one pump to each fpdm.
So far i've made out pretty good, $120 for the setup, plus another $250 for the injectors and adaptors.
