electric fuel pump

Let it be known almost all cheap ($120 or less) electric fuel pumps sound like a freaking chain saw running. I had a Holley blue pump on my car at first and even though I had it mounted on a thick piece of rubber it still drove me crazy. I could hear it over the headers with dual cherry bombs. After that lesson I only run a georotor style pump or a mechanical pump. As for pressure anything between 3 and 6 is perfect. When you get much over 6 psi it can over power the needle and seats on a AFB causing flooding. Holley's seem to handle more but Carters and Eddy's don't care for it.


I had a Blue pump on the Dart back in the day and it drove me nuts, I run a BG with a return line on the Cuda and it works great.

I personally wouldn't run an electric on a driver or stock engine, unless you're having vapor locking issues, a mechanical works just fine and is more than adequate.

As far as fuel pressure, you don't always need 5+ pounds, you just need to make sure you have the volume, you can get by with 3 pounds with some electric pumps.
