I run a mech pump on my motor, but it's a chevy so it needed the lightweight pump pushrod cause it was running out of fuel at 1000 feet into the quarter mile. Now it is fine. Electric pumps seem to crap out much more frequntly. Mech pumps heat up the fuel though. Mech pumps are much quieter than electric, and cheaper too. I like mech pumps, but cobra owners like the electric pump because they have that switch on the dash.
