RE: I have news for you, James.

NASCAR engines make quite a bit more horsepower than he's making and the rules require a mechanical fuel pump mounted in the stock location.

You need to deal with both pressure and volume. You should have enough free-flow volume for your horsepower level but you may want to look at a higher pressure mechanical pump with a regulator. Even the best pump may not cure your problem (if, in fact, you do have a problem) since you have to deal with this as a complete system and that includes everything from the tank pickup, the lines, pump, filter, and even the type of fittings used in the plumbing.

So, yes, you can get a mechanical pump with more volume and pressure.

This thread, so far...
