Default Belt Driven Pumps

Anyone running one on a LS? I'm working out my fuel system on my S475 BW, 5.3 and run across some people that are running belt driven pumps on a street and strip car with no problems. I have a Hell Cat mounted down in the fuel cell and people think I'm crazy but I don't want to rely on just that, I'd like to see 1000 HP down the rd and I'd like to have a fuel system to support that. I'll be running blow thru starting out and I don't want to be returning a ton on of fuel and with a belt driven pump I'd have the perfect set up I'd think. If I'd go that route, I'd just Y the HC pump in with a 1 way valve and have it on a toggle switch in case I'd have a belt or pump problem, I'd think a 125 GPH pump would handle my needs. I ran them on the race car with mech injection and once with 2 750 DP on gas and never had a problem. Can you get mandrels for the LS?

I recommend Motion Raceworks:
https://www.motionraceworks.com/prod...mp-bracket-kit

They also have the brackets for cable driven pumps, if you want to mount the pump in the rear. My fuel cell is in the front, so I mounted the pump in the front.

There's also a link to the ATI hubs for the crank pulley.

I should note that I only used their pulley, I had to use a custom mount for my pump. This is an LS engine using a mechanical fuel pump. If you use the correct regulator, it's the same for EFI.

I actually haven't run it at the track yet. I haven't done mechanical fuel injection before, so it has been an experience getting it to run correctly. Alkydigger has been a great help, but I'm still working out some issues. I also have 2 more projects I'm working on at the same time, so I've been bouncing between all 3 of them to make sure I don't get any of them done ...

But, the car is about 2000lbs, 2 speed powerglide, and should be about 1000hp at the flywheel. Should be fun.

Mech injection is easy after you get a handle on it.I loved it on the race car, I didn't even look at a carb for 20 yrs until I built a street car.

Go to the nearest dirt track on sprint car night,, more guys with Mechanical + Methanol than anywhere else..

Its not that hard you just have to kinda forget carburation,, A dial a jet can help a lot while tuning..
HIGHLY recommend a engine/oil tank heater.. Those motors go stone cold at idle. Sprints take 15 minutes of their 20 min session just to warm up.. LOL
On gasoline they are less finicky.
