Guys,

What kind of fuel pressure should I have a full throttle in 4th gear going thru the traps? The set-up? 440 Landy/B&M 174 supercharger,2 650 cfm edelbrocks,120gph edelbrock electric fuel pump,4:30 end.I notice some guys talking about there cars running out of fuel,I have felt no leaning at all,it pulls hard all the way,perhaps due to it being blown over naturally aspirated?By the way I'm at an alt of 5750ft. Thanks Legends!!-Gary

If you were lean you'd know it because you'd be out a cylinder or 2. I think the rule is 6+lbs of boost??? I ran a centrif S/C unit and I had to pressurize the fuel pump.

Since this is a roots blower with a draw through setup, no need to add pressure to the fuel supply as the boost increases.

Using Carter-brock carbs in a draw through application, you should be seeing between 4 and 5 psi at all times.

Thanks all! I went ahead and bought a 150 gph pump just to make sure I'm covered!-Gary
