I learned the hard way that the Ford Rack & GM Pump are NOT compatible out of the box. Mine was an easy fix (a $20 set of shims) but others using Hydroboost need a more complicated solution.

On the t-bird power racks we sell with our ifs units the psi is 1000-1100
we switched over 12 years ago to a t-bird power racks over from a mustang
power rack for the reason you brought up on the psi.We have had real good
results with the t-bird power rack.We do have shim kits as well we have sold
to people over the years to help out.We have also adjusted more caster
in our ifs and this also helps out as well.For being a easy install it is and
can be done in one day with the proper tools and patients.
