fuel pump

Dale Coulter said

hey guys, I purchased a Holley blue fuel pump for my cuda. now I'm getting some kick back from some folks and they are telling me I got the wrong one. its a deadhead unit without a return line, is it a good unit for a street\strip application. Do I need a return line? Do they over heat the fuel in a stop and go situation, make to much noise, or just not a good performance fuel pump.

I`ve got two laying on the bench. I ran deadhead systems for yrs, w/ that pump, on 5 diff hotrods, and tried ( because of friends advise) a hi pressure return set up on a hot 406 sbc engine I raced a little, it made NO diff. Its all in how u set it up w/ full flow fittings and no restriction in the line or anything. An engine can get big and hot enough to need the bigger set up tho.
