Ah yes, I'm gen2 so gen3 does not exist in my world haha
I thought about buying the FP gen2 pump just to get the gears out of it to put in a gen3 but dang $800 is a lot of dough just for a set of gears.

Gotta wonder why Ford stopped offering them for gen3. Could it be the fluid damper?

Gen3 fluid damper is tuned for a specific resonance. Wouldn't that be out the window with more power and rpm?

With the full FP oil pump unit, would I need to be open it up and lube the gears before install? The product page says its pressure and flow tested, but you never know.
the best way is to pack it with Vaseline

There’s probably less than 5 people who can answer that accurately. But…changing mass and stiffness changes the resonant frequency. Adding damping does change the natural frequency but adding damping as a general rule reduces resonant response at all frequencies. Add enough and it becomes critically damped and the frequencies no longer matter.

That’s a great setup. Travis showed me exactly how the grip sprocket works at the PRI show and it’s pretty trick. We have them all available here at Lethal so feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need help placing an order.

They offer a optional wear coating because the base material is insufficient?
The base material is more than sufficient. I've used the standard Boundary OPG's/Sprocket on my 2018 GT which was an 8 second car and they held up great. Just like stainless steel headers, heat exchangers ,intercoolers and other parts optional coatings are offered for those that want it as an upgrade.

Would love to see what those gears look like now!

The car was sold a while back and is now located in the middle east. However it's still up and running strong ripping it up over there as we are still in contact with the owner of it.

Not many evaluate the condition of aftermarket opgs after use. Nice and Shiney when they went in!
