My quest for a 9, I failed.

i had a dead headed Holley black on my W5 deal. Everybody said it wasnt enough pump. Swapped in an expensive new fuel system with bypass…. Didn't pick up anything.
Your mph is there. Get the 60 foot sorted out, it will run 9.80’s in good air.
You jetted up and it picked up, tells me fuel is fine

Honestly, I don’t think it’s running out of fuel and don’t see it picking up with a larger pump. That’s why the Magnafuel is still on the shelf.
