Thanks in advance
Tha's way over kill for that engine. I'd run a pump controller if it was me. I NEVER have any luck with taking chances.

Thanks for the info guys. I'm trying to buy once for a change. I ran a billet holley hp 150(which turned out to be a 125......don't get me started.) The holley took a dump..... My plan is to install a relatively small procharger this winter. I figure I'll run an over kill pump so i don't have to upgrade the fuel system again this winter.

That makes perfect sense. I'd still run the controller.

I quit doing that a while ago. Seriously though, you will feel better when you get out in the middle of nowhere knowing you did it the right way.

A good article discussing Aeromotive Fuel Pump Controllers.... it is only the one version and they make a couple - but the "reasoning" behind their use is what the article does a good job explaining.... MAINLY fuel heating up...
