If expense is no matter than the renntech shaft driven pump is the way to go, but thats $$$$$$.

The ford pump is the same as the stock pump isnt it? both Bosch?

the johnson pump requires you solder the old plug to the new wires. then tap a hole in the mount base to use the cm30 bracket.
the ford pump requires you swap the end of the pump old with new as the hose diameters are different. also need to swap the plug end. after doing all this you still have a pump that will fail somewere between 1 mile and 40k!
89$ for the ford and 149 for the johnson.
having said all this if you dont increase the size of the h/e neither pump will adequatly cool the s/c. check out waldig's threads on the srt-6 forums . the motor is the same as yours.

agree. I stick with $89....since the car is getting slower everyday (when new cars comes out). Time to upgrade to GT-R.

I got the new updated pump part no. A000 500 03 86, supposed to be an "improved" pump. YMMV.
