What fuel pump and filter are you carb guys running? Any bad expirences with certain pumps? How about Filters?
Looking for feedback on what to put on the new setup. Right now Barry Grant is what I'm most likley going to run.
Thanks,

Not sure what your set up is. On my stuff, I've had good luck with the big Holly & BG.
Dual Dom's & 2 big stages of N2O, never an issue. I trust both.
With a smaller engine & less N2O, you can get something smaller, and have no issues.

Thanks for the feedback. I know a couple of cars running the BG stuff and they've all had good luck.

You hear a lot of bad stuff about BG. I have been running a BG400 pump for a couple of years now. The only problems I have had was the oring on the bottom plate started to leak. BG likes you to return them to get fixed, but I found an oring manufacture in Houston that sold be one real cheap. Have had good luck other than that.

It is priced right and alcohol compatible. I love it. It will deliver plenty of fuel for a nasty street car. But for a serious high end screamer i have never used it on a 400+ ci 7500 RPM screamer, so i cannot say if it would do the do. Although it should.

Im running the stock mechanical fuel pump on my 383 and to be honest I love it this way 6PSI is enough for me and it will deliver the fuel immediately

If it's a street car, mechanical is what I prefer. Not stock, but a higher volume.
A track car you really need an electric. Much easier to set pressures, floats, check for leaks, add N2O ect ect.

Where have you guys mounted your external pump on an 4th Gen?
It looks like I either pull the rear bumper support and mount it back there or hack the trunk pan off and put something there. I would go with the Nasty performance setup but at $675 it's not worth it to me.
Looking for ideas.
Thanks guys,
