Weldon Fuel Pumps

It was offered since that pump is an equivalent (flow-wise) of the most electric fuel pumps offered (and used) in the market today.

The fuel pump listed in the ad is not recommended for lower hp'd vehicles (below 1200 hp) -- that pump will support well over 2000 hp at carb pressure. Even though many individuals use large displacement fuel pumps for lower hp'd engines -- Weldon doesn't perscribe to that thinking. Think of it this way, if your motor on its worst day only can consume 100 gph of fuel, why are you "killing it" with over 400 -- you've got to do something with the excess and returning it only heats it up which can cause decreased engine performance.

Not saying that pump is not for everyone, but you'll be better off if you size it to the engine or application for reliability and consistency. Weldon's got a few options..................
