To me it's not the two pounds or anything like that....it is the simplicity of it all. Less drag on the engine and even the safety side of it. Yes you can run an electric pump but how many times have you left the pump on or forgot to shut it off? Your needle in your carb sticks and your engine dies with fuel flowing everywhere?? There are definitely some advantages to a pump like this on all street and strip applications. The true question is does it work?? ....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

Mine has the pump mrelay wired to the ignition circuit. No key on, no gas pumpy. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."

How would it seal to a big block Mopar? I just got mine 2 weeks ago, they send it with candy and a nice crushed velour bag.

I have to use this pump if I want a mechanical pump on my world block. You cannot grind enough to get a carter to fit. Tim http://www.racepumps.com/FuelPumps-Street.html

Yeah...you could put a regulator on it...But I wonder if someone didn't do it and found all their gaskets and O-rings destroyed in the carbs. I like the "RacePump should last for years, but it can be damaged by junk in the fuel line. It is rebuildable with a $10.00 kit." So the other $310 is primarily made up of aluminum...thats expensive... Family owned 1969 Charger R/T DualQuad 440/727/GVO/3.55s
