Need to upgrade my fuel system on my street/strip Satellite. It's adequate for street use but has started to run out of fuel at the top of third when I've gotten on it on a hill (highway onramp).

Right now the engine is in the 525 HP neighborhood, car should run mid 11s but hasn't been down the strip yet as I'm still sorting it out. Plans in the near future are for headwork and 600-650 HP.

I'm thinking 1/2 inch pickup and fuel line up to the mechanical pump, with one Holley black pump. 9/16 line from the pump to carb with a dead head fuel pressure regulator. Does this sound sufficient? I would think that this should be more than enough but I really don't know.



Why the 9/16 line... the 1/2 is your choke/flow
and is more than enough.. I assume you would run on
the mech pump and turn on the black when racing




Will a mechanical pump draw through an electric pump when on the street just driving around? I wouldn't mind having an electric pump at hand for race duty, but it would be nice to be able to drive around town on just the mechanical pump.
(sorry for the hi-jack)



My buddy does it on his 460.. mech pump with a holley
blue in the rear... so yeah I guess it works..he
has been doing it about 6 years now... he runs 11.50
on motor and 10.80 on a little spray
