Fuel system

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!

countless racers wish they had their $ and time back they spent swapping out their fuel pump/lines for a bigger pump and lines based on what they read and what in BG's full page ads back in the day because their current fuel system couldn't fill a gas can in x seconds that the snake oil salesman stated they needed for max performance. Great marketing ploy but a baseless, self serving claim.

LOL @ Kyle,

Yep, it was his car & yes it was a SERIOUSLY handicapped & old fuel system that I removed.
Did I back to back it same day same DA, nope, hell, it took a weekend to remove the old & completely re-plum the car...... BUT we all live & die by the statistical numbers that we log for every lap down the track and I can honestly tell you that the new system outperformed the old by a tenth, maybe even a smidge more. And it was easily adjustable to allow running @ Bandimere and then Dallas 2 weeks later.... just a bit of DA change between those two.....
Does that mean the an Aeromotive system is a God send for every racer out ther.... NOPE,
but their stuff IS good, the company is GREAT to work with to diagnose any issues and they are among the first to get their contingency check in your hand.
AND, it is a made in USA company, owned by racers & staffed with the same.
Be skeptic if you wish, it really doesn't matter to me, was just sharing what I experienced with Joe.

1320racer, Last year at Earlville points meet I change the relay to the fuel pump and picked up 2 tens, so what bob says mite have something to do with old fuel system.Tom

[1320racer]

tom, nothing wrong with an "old system" that is working, getting from point A to B without issue. Your system whether old or new had an issue which surely you felt during a pass, heard during a pass and/or seen on the time slip which is why you changed the relay and probably after chasing an issue for a while.

Interesting comments. For years I ran just the cheap Holly 110 pump on a low 11 second Qjet stocker. I recently decided to throw a Magnafuel 300 pump in it. I left in the Aeromotive regulator and started to have a problem the odd time with the carb overflowing when turning the pump on. Good thing about having a data recorder is it allows you to sometime easily figure out what’s going on. Recording what was happening when I turned on the fuel pump showed that the carb was seeing a huge hydraulic impact that the regulator could not deal with as it was downstream from it. Solution was to pulse the pump at start up.
Bigger isn’t always better

Chances are, a Mallory Comp 140 and The Volumax Holley Reg, #8 lines, front to back, with low restriction filter(after the pump), and #8 line from 8gallon fuel cell, would feed my E/SA 400 Pontiac? Im trying to decide what to do, for a pump , to get started...Or just spend 60.00 more and get a Magna Fuel Quickstar 275, and be done with it? Thoughts are appreciated...
