Todd --

Remember the whole fuel pump discussion we had at SEMA.... and the "over worked - over heated" too large of a fuel pump...

I didn't want to throw that out at this thread - because I'm not knowledgeable enough about it. But, I would think this is a pump that is FAR too large for the application (this pump goes for 1000 HP cars!)...

Our discussion there, with Charley, Frank, and Mark was Fuel injected applications -- and Jason is running a carb so I would think that there is less work being performed with FAR lower pressures used in a carb app... So maybe they don't work nearly as hard - to make 6 or 7 lbs of pressure vs the 40 or 50 lbs in high horse EFI motors...

JASON -- you'd actually be surprised at how "little" the EFI pumps in factory applications are. Granted they're "in tank" pumps - flooded head etc - but they're really not very large - and they're making way more pressure than what you're going to need. Are you sure you want to use this pump?
