I use to use 2 holley blue pumps in parallel on my car some years back but I hated the cheap holley regulators so I went with a mallory 4 port with return.. I run a return system on all my junk... now I have 2 holley blacks in parallel with the same reg.. on my Rampage I have a single Mallory 140 pump but that will be coming off and going with injection

I've never had any real issues with the blue pumps other than they are LOUD but I guess I am a little more into quiet.. even when we tested pumps in the lab at work... I've never found any pump quiet

I have had great luck with them. I carry a spare on dragweek but have yet to need it.

Check your free flow rate with the system you have before making any change. The blue pumps put out enough fuel for up to 500 hp, and the regulators have worked well for me in the past. I am not a fan of the blue pumps though, I have a box full of bad ones. If you are at about 500 hp, then the free flow rate should be about one gallon per minute to feed that much power under pressure.

Ran 2 Holley blue pumps in series from 1988-2006. Same pumps and regulator never an issue. Car ran 10.80-10.90 from 1988-2000. Upgraded the engine and got the car down to 10 teens w/the same set up. Only leak I ever had in my fuel system was the big Fram fuel filter.
Ok

Why would you run 2 pumps in series and not parallel

I have REALLY hurt some guys feelings about their fuel regulators on my flow bench...........LOL!!.....Those "cheap" Holley regulators are the most repeatable and consistent regulator you can buy. The only drawback they have is the inner flow path diameter. But it requires BIG power to need more fuel than they can deliver and they are more than enough reg for 99% of guys

THIRTY YEARS AGO, the first 500" P/S cars were in the 7's, right? Holley Blue pumps and those cheap dead head regulators were the real deal.
So I cannot help but when a guy tells me that his motor NEEDS that $500 billet cement mixer pump and $200 regulator on his 9.80/135 mph car, "Cause it was too lean with the Holley stuff". YEPPERS, just had a Mopar racer tell me that a few weeks ago when I asked about his recent fuel system "upgrade". Oh, and he's really puzzled how there isn't any gain on the time slip...

I use 2 Holley blue pumps and regulators on my junk, one for each carb. I've never had a problem unless they sit around dormant for years. BTW I've done the fuel flow test years back with a .110 orifice and these pumps and regulators flowed more than enough to feed my engine.

This is a picture of one of Bob Glidden's Clevelands from about 1979-80. Pro Stock cars were going mid 8's at that time. Note the fuel system in the picture. Check out the water pump drive too. Pretty trick stuff.
LOL.. notice ALL of the RUBBER fuel hose.. I guess that was before the 6" rule started
