Thanks for the update Rick. On the fuel pump, sometimes we get lost on the need for the latest, greatest pieces just because we believe we need them and they look cool.

Years ago a buddy raced a 427/4 speed Fairlane and was running low 12s with a stock fuel pump and lines. Everybody told him his pump was holding the car back and he needed an electric pump and all the goodies that went with it. He spent almost $200 for the pump, all new bigger lines, and regulator. Guess how much the car picked up?

Yep! The webers want high volume and low pressure, @ 3.5# or so, thus my concern that the stock pump may have too much pressure and then drop off at high rpm. Doesn't appear to be an issue. :D
