Don't listen to people with the Maganfuel propaganda. For someone to say they don't fail is silly...What fuel pumps don't?

Weldon is my preference 10 times out of 10.

I speak from personal experience. I have had a weldon overheat and burn up on me. I have been running dual Magnafuels w/o issues, not to mention they are MUCH quieter! I never said they don't fail. I have never heard of, read about, or experienced a Magnafuel failure. Next time get your facts straight before making wild accusations

I am not a sponsor on this sight so you won't see them unless the customer puts them up, and he is not a member here I don't think.

Another vote for Weldon, My 2345 with the controller works great on the street. I know many others that have good luck with them.

I wasn't singling you out or making accusations. Obviously, this board is a "to each their own" kind of community.

What I'm saying is, a properly setup Weldon has been proven time and time again on the street and on the track. Seen too many setups, personally, with Weldons do great on the street. The one time I saw a failure was due to the pump location being next to the muffler under the car (03 Cobra). A little heat wrap and a shield took care of it.

So take it easy, calm down, and realize Weldon is where it's at.

Heck, you might as well take advantage of it, especially if you're already paying on the truck site. Bob

Well definitely been slacking on the updates ...Its been nutz lately.

Since were going to be up over 2000 hp we wanted to play it safe on the fuel system so. I decided to get a big boy fuel system. Were going to use a mechanical fuel pump system made by waterman. It uses a mechanical fuel pump mounted in the rear of the car and is driven by a cable that is connected to the rear of the ARE dry sump/ oil pump. Its a really cool set up. The car is at the chassis shop now getting a 25.3 cage / motor plates / tubular front frame / weight removal. We will be at the chassis shop weekly also working on the car so should have some weekly updates .The engine is ready to go at Va Speed just waiting on the Sonny Bryant crank shaft, John Marcella intake manifold. The engine will be on the dyno with the supercharger so that should be fun. More pictures to follow. Mark
