It's time to get working on the Barracuda again, it'll probably see mostly street use with some trips to the track now and then. 4.15 crank 440, .040 over, around 498 inches. 11:1, hydraulic cam, prepped Edelbrocks, Holley 950 HP, I'm guessing it'll be in the 550-570 horsepower range.
I'm looking for a pump that will handle the fuel needs of the motor, be dependable, and be quiet as possible. Any suggestions?

For a good, reliable and quiet electric pump, you can't go wrong with the Mallory 140. More than enough to handle 600 horses and then some.

I really got to dislike the Mallory 140 pump, I have been using it on a daily driver..Its on my 01 Dodge Truck that see's hundreds of miles a week.. The pump eats brush's like no other.... I actually keep brush kits in the truck at all times. I know a race car wont see as much driving, but just proves the pump wont last for the long haul. I have also polished the commutator ans slip ring to keep it from being so bad.. I now can get 5-6 months before replacing.

The Clay Smith pump is very good. I used one many years ago with a 12:1 440 with two 660 center squirter on a tunnel ram. Also Race Pumps make a piston pump that works very well.

don't be afraid to try a mechanical pump. i got so sick of electric pumps, i put a carter race mechanical in and never looked back. that was close to ten years ago, and still going strong. my car runs tens, and fuel pressure is rock solid through the entire run. i never could say that about any electric pump i ever ran.
for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

After looking at posts on several sites, I'm really leaning toward a Clay Smith mechanical. Since it's a street-strip car, I'm not worried about losing a few HP to drive the pump. Sounds like the perfect setup for my HP and intended use...
