Fuel pump for bypass regulator I bought a pro systems bypass regulator for my blow through carb. I was wondering if the a1000 would be a good pump to use with it. It says its 150 gph. I wasnt sure if i run a bypass setup if i need a higher gph fuel pump. Or just go back to a deadhead regulator. The motor is an on3 78/75 turbo on 5.3. 650 csu carb. Thnx
The fuel pump should match the fuel type and amount fuel the engine needs, To big of a pump will needlessly heat up fuel and to small will run the bowls dry.
The regulator is there to regulate pressure not volume.

Having seen a pro systems 440, I have a really hard time believing it flows 440 GPH, especially through an 8AN outlet at low pressure. That's over 4000 horsepower worth of gasoline, or a gallon every 8 seconds.
