Well I'm pretty sure very few stockers/SS are running stock tanks.

Chad with these pumps you can run a stock tank if wanted or they are also available with fuel cell mounts. I believe Aeromotive sells the fuel cell mount. Great pump at a great price. Use a boost a pump set up and these pumps will feed a strong running combination

Walbro pumps have such a high failure rate, I will never use another one. My shop was very busy, we installed some of those since we could just call NAPA or O'Reily's and have one delivered quick. Had to eat too many. Borg Warner, etc , are about all reboxed Walbro. When the new pump weighs about half the orig pump, you can tell yourself "yep, plastic is lighter than brass." Went back to buying from the dealer's parts dept to keep customers happy. No voltage booster band-aids needed for a good pump.

I've always been leery of the dual pump setups on forced induction applications..................what if one pump dies

I fully agree. One capable pump is much more reliable.

Ed you are 100 % correct and the pumps that they had problems with were all replaced under warranty(I know but not the labour)

Chad we use 2 pumps in a forced induction and the second pump turns on with a hobbs switch as boost rises.

2 pumps are a bad idea. And are a bandaid, not a solution.

Well if my new nhra rule was laying by my chair instead of hiding in cyberspace I could say for sure, but I am real sure stock and super stock are limited to ONE fuel pump.
