The mallory 140 on my car seems to have died. Looked up the price for a new 140 and immediately was hit with sticker shock. At least 2 times higher than what I paid for the pump however many years ago. 325 seems pretty dang high for a 140..
What is an affordable (like to stay around $200), quality, reliable pump in the 140 gph range these days?

You might want to think 2 pumps in parallel instead of 1 bigger pump.. your looking for flow not pressure.. I have been running 2 pumps on the race car since day 1.. they dont need to be pricey.. the one thing about cheaper pumps is they tent to be a little noisier.. but if you isolate them they arent bad EDIT Also if one dies you can still make it home or back to the pits

I prefer the Carter. It's a Mopar thing. Cheap, simple, small and it works.

Von I know some say they are too noisey but I have always run Holley pumps since the 70's. The one I run now is the black one with a reg set at 6 psi and it supplies my 850 fine with 3/8 line. Myself when you grew up wanting to hear that fuel pump when you turn the key on as that way I knew it was working so a little fuel pump noise does not bother me at all in my hotrod running 3" exh with Ultra-Flow mufflers. And I have never been let down on the road by a Holley pump but I did have one go bad from sitting a few years as it locked up. But thats all I use is just the Holley electric pump and its cost was not that bad. Ron

Ron,
I used blues and reds "back in the day"...
Had one or two die. But...they were dead headed. I have a return now, so I assume their life should be longer, and probably quieter.

I put lots of miles and lots of years on a holley blue. I never had it let me down, I started to carry a spare when I did drag week but never needed it.
With my EFI I run two walboro 255LPH pumps. I killed one pump on drag week and had a second one die almost instantly. Looking back on it the problem was teething pains from a new EFI fuel system and not cleaning the 10 micron filter often enough. Since then I have had no problems with the walboro pumps mounted externally.

I run a Carter system on the Satellite.... mechanical 6903 pump full time on the street. It also has a 4600HP electric pump in series back near the tank. I run a one-way check valve around it so the mechanical can pull around it, but when I turn it on it pushes to the mechanical. I use the electric pump to prime when the cars been sitting and at the track only. This setup seems to work real well so far.

aeromotive 11203 had 2 on my car for over 15 yrs no problems !!! I ran one of those Aeromotive 11203 pumps on the cuda for a long time and really liked it. It's on my road runner now. A little over $200, so right where you want to be price wise.

Von the blue pump was dead headed. There was times it made some pretty bad noises on drag week when it was hot but it never failed. It was supporting about 450-500HP pulling through the stock 5/16 pickup.
