Default Re: Fuel pump check

I had a Holley Black on mine to begin with, with #8 lines, in a return setup. Its only a little better than a Blue pump. I went to a BG280, and it picked up a little in the back half with the extra vol. Changed it after having trouble 2 time with the 280 and put the Magnafuel, and went to the #10 lines and a Magnafuel reg. Picked up good (.06, in worse air) in back half ! Volume is the key, with a fuel bowl 1/2 size of one Holley bowl. "Stacking" fuel. is a definite requirement with a quad.

What is the correct way to set-up this by pas system?

Finally, in my third system, I have an A-2000 Aeromotive pump, a return system with Aeromotive regulator and #10 lines both ways, and a #12 section from the regulator to the Q-jet to supply additional volume of fuel to the needle and seat. I know this sounds like overkill, but the Q-jet as explained above needs a lot of volume and not high pressure, or the float cannot overcome the higher pressure and the single needle will fail to seat, you will have flooding. This system will deliver a gallon in less than 15 seconds. If you spend the money once, and do a top notch system, you can then depend on it and concentrate on other things. I tried doing this the cheap way, guaranteed I wasted a lot of time and money re-doing the system several times to do it right. Plus, you can chase tuneup issues such as a slight top end miss or pop endlessly that are actually the result of lack of fuel volume. Just my two cents...
