I have a 528 hemi with two edelbrock 600s on it and the motor dynoed at 700 hp. What size fuel pump would you reccomend for this. The car will be mainly street driven with a few trips to the track. I will be running a mechanical pump and prefer to not run a regulator unless I have to. Will 110 gph be enough?

Most everybody is going to give you the same recommendation. Dual 500 gpm fuel pumps with -16 lines. All this get-a-big-fuel-pump crap started 25 years ago when the $400 Barry Grant fuel pump became a status symbol. The guy was a marketing genius. He made people with $500 cars want a $400 fuel pump. Wide open your car will burn around 40 gph. 110 gph should be enough. Carter makes a mechanical pump just like you want that doesn't use a regulator. I would give that a try.
The Saturn V rocket that took men to the moon had high fuel flow for liftoff. The first stage had 5 engines. Each engine had a 55,000 horsepower fuel pump. That's your fuel pump trivia for the day.

mancini has a mechanical pump that is calibrated for high flow at the pressure the carter/edelbock carbs need. that is what i run on mine, 540 dyno'd at 712 hp.
That's pretty good for a mechanical pump. Whats your best ET in the quarter? What kind of 60 ft times are you getting?

haven't got that far yet. the engine is in, just got the subframe connectors on last week. lots of little tweaking and some other issues to work out. i'm hoping to get it to the strip this summer, but being 80 miles away puts a small damper on things.
