What fuel pump should i switch to, with video
So when I plumbed the fuel system in my car I skimped on my fuel pump. Im running a 90gph summit brand pump, it works great and its all I currently need but its horrendously loud, it almost drowns out my exhaust. Between getting the car ready for more motor in the future and trying to make it less obnoxious I need a new pump.
What are you guys running, does anyone have experience with the new holleys?
CLick the picture for video.

Say NO to Carter
I can tell you to NOT EVER use the Carter fuel pumps. I was looking to save a few bucks and it has been the biggest mistake of my project and is the embarrassing bane of my swap. It sounds like a mini-Bridgeport mill running in my trunk! ….NNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...... ..6000 miles and its never "broken in" and quieted down. Also it is supposed to have a built in regulator, but my little gauge is always bouncing 5-12 settling at 7 for a moment then bouncing again. Almost like the pump regulates pressure in little “spurts” instead of constant flow.
My advice would be spend a few bucks on a high quality pump, preferably in-tank so it is quieter and lasts longer. And also invest in a quality bypass in-line regulator.
Good Luck!

I have read good things about the edelbrock quiet flo pumps but I havn't spoken to anyone with one.
The holley hp series are really nice but again, havn't talked to anyone. I did just find this video though.
