I have been beating my head against the wall with this.. Think I am goin with the Racetronics Buick pump. Haven't heard bad things about it. Liked the Aeromotive one BUT not comfy with the return line handling it.. This is only a low 11 car.. decisions decisions  :013:

I would say Jack's or Denso, maybe

Another problem with putting powerful pumps on the stock fuel line is that they have to work against more resistance to deliver the volume they are pushing which loads the pump and potential shortens their life.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

hahahaha... you have to start somewhere.. Been playin with these cars since 86.. so although a low 11 sec car is pretty good it's old news to some of us that have tried all the kool guy parts out there that didn't work.  :rock: Take your time an learn the car an how to drive it.. 11s will come pretty easy .  :cool;
