Thats right...It will be a major improvement. I just finished the 144 pump mod in my FX-1 just 1 day before the Rager. The route I took was the "Hack up and re-work" the bottom to create a mold. After a long stare at the "make the pump fit" route...I decided against it. Check the pic for diameter/fit/ sizing.:bigeyes: A little off.
Just making the pump fit in would be ok, but I felt the graft would not be as efficient or as light as it needs to be. The stock FX is made with your standard cheezy Heavy "boat cloth" weave and cheap polyester resin. (It breaks real easy). My factory FX bottom had a hard life, it was worn very thin (100's of beach landings and like every ski,waterlogged) and needed replacement or serious work anyway.

The first ride hookup was like "direct drive" compared to the standard FX-1 pump....Why did I wait so long??:banghead: This project took 2 years to finish.....Time to dial it in and re-learn how to ride!:cheer:

Where were you guys 2 years ago? The $650.00 pump mod is a deal.

Ok, We are all on the edge of our seats about this "Drop in pump". It's a given that it works way better than any FX-1 pump. But how about a few pictures??

Is this a picture of what you guys built for Blowsion 4 years ago? :cool2:

I'd go with orange...like fire orange...or rocket thrust orange...or maybe smartass orange...I don't know which one would be faster...I'll bet a flame job would make it even faster...or maybe a nice airbrushed picture of the space shuttle....I bet that'd be really fast.....

The guys name is Trevor and he builds Drag cars. I bumped into him at the anodisers. I happened to have the pumps in the car aswell as Tricky's pics. I showed them to him to see what he thought. I have been having alot of trouble finding someone to do the work. He came up with the idea of the brackets which seemed really simple. I guess I'll find out tomorrow if they work or not when I fit the pump and drive shaft. I'll be very surprised if the alignment is out after looking at what he builds.
