Need an electric fuel pump to operate correctly?

I have the stock Carter from Mazzolini, will it be enough to feed dual 500 edelbrocks?

Sweet.....Cuz I dont wanna start running 1/2" line to the tank....I have a 3/8" feed now with no return line...

Should I install a return line? Just asking though...If I have two carbs sucking down fuel, there will be nothing left to send back hahahaha

1st order of business would be to add (temporarily if need be)(with an isolator of course ) a 0-15 fuel psi gauge on the dash and see if you have several psi at the end of the street . A return line keeps the fuel to the carb cooler since it is getting more cooler fuel from the tank instead of just the stagnant fuel present in the line and is an excellent plan w an electric pump to keep it from deadheading but in your case to K.I.S.S. keep the lines away from the ex and/or some insulation and you'll be fine.

If you don't have the 120 GPH Carter pump you are going to run out of fuel in short order. I have a single thermoquad and when I romp it it goes down to 4 PSI and I have the 120 GPH pump. A stock 60 GPH pump won't cut it.
