The safety thing ...for me is that no matter what with a mechanical pump when the motor shuts down so does the gas...for sure. Even if I spin the car and lock it up and kill the motor the gas stops pumping. i did race my car a 406 cu and never had fuel starvation with the mechanical pump and believe me I rev the hell out of my motor.
just my 02c

No offense John,but if your 406 wasn't running out of fuel with just a mechanical pump,then it wasn't much of a motor.

A mechanical pump(by itself) will NOT feed my Side-Oiler.

As i posted earlier,every car today has a electric pump.
