Bob - which electric fuel pumps does ERA use

[Grubby]

Thanks guys.

Lykins is building my engine. He is estimating it will be 600-650hp. His line is 600hp needs more fuel than the mechanicals can provide.

It sounds like my HP per cube is right there with RockBit and the extra cubes of a 496 will push it over.

Holley makes a 110, 130 and +170 mechanical pumps.
Above 110 you would need a carb fuel pressure regulator.

The larger mechanicals will easily feed a NA motor at 650HP.

Maybe for a 350 Chevy, but not for an FE.

The Edelbrock pump is the largest mechanical fuel pump for an FE and it's rated to support "up to 600 hp". RobbMc used to make some bigger mechanical fuel pumps but you had to grind on the pump and also on the engine block to make it fit.

This isn't a constant WOT race engine but I still don't like taking chances with fuel flow with higher horsepower engines. There are several other benefits to an electric pump.

Brent is right, John.
