Fuel system

[BobUnkefer]

Joe,
D/SA 396/350 68 Camaro.
Took off an old Mallory pump, regulator and lines, replaced entire system with Aeromotive.
A-2000 pump, along with their regulator and new lines, picked up a tenth.
Granted the other stuff was old, but still, a TENTH?
Best part was the assistance from Aeromotive when I did have a question. great customer service!
Very easy to work with at the track.
and the best part....... (drum roll please.....)
Their contingency check is usually one of the FIRST to arrive. And in this day and age, that accounts for a lot in itself (IMO)!

Todd, FYI, long before I ran a Holley carb, I ran a Q-Jet on my 468 well in to the 10's! Same pump, same dead headed regulator and same stock unsumped gas tank.

Hi Ed, Did it run faster with the Holley or the Qjet? How fast did you end up running with that engine?

it did run quicker IIRC .08 when I made the swap to a 950HP. Don't remember if or how much faster. Best ET/MPH with this cast iron oval port headed 468 in my 3880 lb. Chevelle was 10.07 @ 131

A-B tested the same day, same track, same DA? Unless your old system was really, really bad, it's hard to imagine a tenth pickup. None the less, that's some serious HP you found in the fuel system to pick up that kind of ET.

glad somebody said it. I'm not buying a tenth either.

Why are you so inclined to argue with someone's first hand results. Obviously, he had a subpar fuel system.

[1320racer]

who's arguing?

Besides my own swap/testing, racers that I personally know, racers whose program is spot on, have not seen anything on the time slip other than a lighter wallet after swapping to a big pump and fuel lines.

That said, I believe half of what I see with my own eyes and none of what I read on internet forums,

Unk is telling the truth. It was my car he was driving and the fuel system was very bad.

The only time anybody has to believe or disbelieve the results is when a guy is in your class and he is a .10 + faster than you with the same car. If not if your taking time shots or bracket racing it doesn't much matter. As long as the car is not popping and is hitting on 8 you are good to go. Race and enjoy.

Everybody should run out and buy Holley Blue pumps. You can all save tons of money and run with anybody. Life is good!
