Fuel pump requirements

Whats the combination? A car with a Holley 4 barrel is much easier to keep fed than say a Quadrajet on an otherwise identical application. A single Holley "Blue" electric pump should be more than adequate for a car like that with a Holley carb. My bracket car with a Holley 650 carb ran 10.2ETs at 130 MPH, 1.36 60 foot times with a single Holley blue, with a stock gas tank and 3/8" steel fuel line. I know a few guys with similar cars that run similar times with a Carter mechanical pump, but very unlikely a QJet car would get to 1/2 track under power with the same fuel system.
