"Times, fuels, and fuel demands have changed a lot over the years"

Heres the thing... lets say you have a S/S car that runs 9.90 with a 1.28 60 foot, and a Q-Jet and the car leaves @ a 45 degree angle, theres no pump running a rated 14 PSI thats going to over come the G-forces at a 45 degree angle and maintain the float level, you are hurting your self in the 330, and this is exactly what you found out Alex. When your car has the potential to leave and you cut corners on the fuel system, your screwing yourself.
