that is only PART of the SF power system. I have that exact piece on the top of my fuel setup. SF also takes the Vortech system and adds an inline fuel pump, controlled and tuned by the Vortec FMU. The SF has the whole thing man, not just the top piece.

That top part IS the FMU. You can still get the FMU and Vortech T-Rex fuel pump for less than $500 and have all the parts.... You may need to get some fuel lines but those are cheap enough... BUT you won't have the good customer service that SF provides (from what I've read anyway) and sometimes that's worth more than the part itself..... The FMU is a disc diaphram design.... Unless the SF model comes with the bleeder valve, there's not too much tuning to do....
I could be wrong about what else the kit comes with though since I haven't seen it close up yet.... just my $0.02....

Rep Power: 312 We heavily modify that FMU. We modify it soo much that we are actually having some custom made for us by our machinest. The fuel kit is not what it appears to be. It is not just an fmu, pump, and some pipes. There is soo much going on inside that fuel system, you have no clue. Powerdyne first tried to develop this system. They failed. They could not figure out what to do to make it work. SFpower thought about it for quite a long time and designed the entire thing in his head from scratch.
It takes a lot of stuff to make that fuel system work, so dont think you can just build one out of spare parts in your bedroom.
