What is the best electronic fuel pump recommended? - Lateral-g Forums

Could someone recommend a good electronic fuel pump. I am currently going to keep the car carberated but wanted to use an electronic fuel pump. I may update the motor at a later date with EFI. What's the best looking and most reasonably priced one on the market?

That would be a horsepower driven question?

As Frank noted, we'd need to know what kind of HP you're making.

As for brands, I've used Aeromotive and Mallory in the past and been happy with them. I'd stay away from Barry Grant.

Also realize that an EFI pump and a carbureted pump are different, although with the proper regulator you could use an EFI pump now and then swap just the regulator later if you go EFI instead of having to buy two pumps.

My motor dyno'd - 400hp @ 5600rpm and 389ft/lbs @ 5100rpms.

Thanks for your input

I do have bad.... BAD... experiences about Mallory´s 140 fuel pump!!! It caused a fire, which could have been a major issue for my Corvette... (The pump got stucked and the engine back fired.) Which I had just a week earlier finnished after 3 years!!! Now I´m running Aeromotive... and I can recommed it for everybody!!!

An Aeromotive A1000 is not real loud, looks pretty, is reliable, and can support over 1000 hp with forced induction. You would never have a problem with that. I like mine alot so far after 4 years.
If you carbaurated, make sure to use the correct regulator from them to lower pressure enough.

I use Aeromotive on all my car's,never had any problems with them,The A1000 is a very good pump,up to like 800hp.

Aeromotive a 1000 is the best pump in my opinion. You can also use the aeromotive pump controller to help keep fuel temp down and make it last longer.

I would be concerned with the cubic inches being fed rather than what horsepower the engine produced. GPH should be based on cubic inches.
Also the supply line size and cfm of carburator should be a considering factor as well.
