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)!

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 · 06-19-2013, 09:53 AM

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,

KRatcliff · 06-19-2013, 10:17 AM

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!

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

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.
