Default Not enough fuel?

Just add another pump

We just can't give up how quiet the Weldon A600 is.The car made it to 800rwhp with 1 pump then ran out of flow so we are adding this other one that will run on a boost switch and a manual switch.Should be enough now to hit 4 digit's

You have the opportunity to pimp slap me here if I'm wrong but it would appear that you are using an Aeromotive check valve on the outlet and if you are I believe that its backwards.

Sure,be a wiseguy That was actually just screwed in backwards.Has to come off again to hook up the feed line above it--so it's hand tight right now and will be coming off

Who has the best deal on these pumps?

I have a Walbro intank pump, would I get enough flow with this pump in series with the intank pump or would the intank just be a restriction? Looking for @ least 700RWHP but I want to stick with the stock fuel tank on a 02 Fbod.

How much pressure is this pump able to build and maintain?

Thanks

If you figure a 17% driveline loss you're talking 850 fwhp. At a BSFC of .55 that's gonna be about 75 gph. With an LS1 at 60 psi non boost regulated that's a pretty big pump. The 600-A isn't going to make that happen on its own. 2 in parallel will of couse and you could stage the second one in with boost. A single intank will be a restriction at that level.

A voltage booster could make it happen, but you'll need a good intank pickup.

A single Aeromotive Eliminator will flow 90 GPH @ 12v and 60 psi, but you'll need a speed controller for street driving and a -12 inlet from the tank.

So are you going to run them parallel with two -x feed lines (one into each rail)? Or Y them together into the feed? Also, same question from tank to pump. One into two or two into two.

That can alway's be a downfall but those Aeromotive's are just too damn loud and annoying on a street car.We also have a wideband in the car that I'm alway's looking at at WOT--habit

1K? -soon ,waiting on a few parts for the fuel system and that damn Carb intake to show up
