Fuel pump size?
« on: September 05, 2011, 12:57:27 am »
How big (flow rate) of a fuel pump do I need? Mild street 350 with Holley 670 carb street avenger. Is there a mathematical way or equation to see how much flow I need? Thanks.

X2. If you go bigger like 110 GPH you will need a fuel pressure regulator. You don't have enough motor to need all of that.

agreed on bone stock. my old 350 (world 200cc heads, .488, 10-1 etc) would BARELY suck a stock pump dry after full throttle for like 10 seconds straight. save your $.
