I am 100% with Jerry here! I have always said that the OEM ,read ,factories pay 100's of thousands to highly qualified engineers to come up with the best and safest methods of doing things. All the other geniuses who own cars always come up with beter ways of wasting money on unnecassary and often times unsafe "bling". Just like all the threads about faulty aftermarket ignitions and the like......beats me!!!!...............KISS!!!

I've been told by more than a few highly respected engine guru's that other than perhaps RobbMc's mechanical pump, none of the other mechanical pumps will have the capacity to feed my engine should I decide to take it to the track, which I hope to do. I feel better with the big electric pump back there, KNOWING that it'll work, than with a marginally sized mechanical HOPING that it'll work. Every engine guy I spoke with, and every article I referenced, speced a 1/2" fuel line and a higher pump flow rate than either of the mechanical pumps mentioned in the post above. I don't have the numbers handy in front of me, that was a while ago. However, I'll stick with what I've got, I KNOW it'll work. This "genius" doesn't have all the answers, but I know enough to go to QUALIFIED experts to learn what I don't know. They said to set it up the way I have it. Last I knew, the factory didn't produce a 640+HP car, and certainly not one with a mechanical fuel pump. Required fuel flow and delivery is a function of the HP that it feeds.
