Pros/Cons -- Inline pump vs Intank pump I'm thinking of putting a TNT wet kit on my stock motor in a few months. I'll probably have a Thunder 220 114lsa cam in by then as well. I would like to upgrade my fuel system as much as possible to handle whatever shot I plan on running. Is there any pros/cons of running an inline pump compared to a intank pump? I would rather do a inline pump for ease of install, but would the intank be any better? Thanks for the help!

I know there are people that don't like it, but I'm running an in-line pump for my Stage II Procharger. I made 486 RWHP / 487 RWTQ and ran a 10.98 @ 125.83 MPH with no fuel problems that I can see. Acutally, I'm running rich. <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">
I have the Aeromotive pump.

Re: Pros/Cons -- Inline pump vs Intank pump I think a reason is that the in-line are louder than replacing the in-tank. although, for the jack-stand racer, replacing the in-tank kinda sucks. ive done it while working at the dealership. its not that fun. and gasoline in your armpit isnt as fun as you friends would have you believe.

I think he feels he nees extra fuel for his nitrous exploits. I don't know much about nitrous. Are there fuel supply issues when you spray?

Re: Pros/Cons -- Inline pump vs Intank pump At some point the restriction on the pickup tube of the stock intank pump becomes too much to pull through. You don't have to worry about that until at least after 500 RWHP in my experience though.

well when he says stock motor, and thunder racing 220 cam, im wondering what happened to his solid roller setup? <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> I completely understand needing fuel part, what is this other cam talk?

Re: Pros/Cons -- Inline pump vs Intank pump Jason decided to trade motors with Paul at TR. He said he didnt want to always worry about getting to run more than once since he has no cage.

Yep, Ryan is correct. My old motor is in Paul's car now and doing just fine. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> I had to put a cage in my car if I planned on racing since every track around here pretty much said don't come back. LOL Once I get another daily driver, I'll have an even bigger and badder setup (more cubes and bigger solid roller). <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> The tracks around here allow you up to 11.49 or slower before a cage. So, a TR 220 cam and all the bolt ons should keep me in that range. The n20 is just for some fun on the street. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Re: Pros/Cons -- Inline pump vs Intank pump As long as the inline/intake pumps keep up with what your doing it should not be a problem.
Changing the intake pump on jack stands is not that big a deal. I would not want to again any time soon, so I added an acess panel inside the car. Just pop the panel and lift the pump straight out the top.

Re: Pros/Cons -- Inline pump vs Intank pump Hi Jason, one thing to remember with the inline pump, if its not running it can cause a restriction. High Tenor's setup is fine with a turbo or supercharged car, everytime he gets into boost a hopps switch activates the pump, but with nitrous you also need adequete fuel supply while off the gas, I guess you could wire it to a switch and whenever you felt like playing around turn it on, my buick ran ok with the inline pump turned of with normal driving but I just hot wired it, flipping a switch is just one more thing to forget ( and I would forget it!!), it really didn't seem that loud, if you dont mind a loud exhaust I doubt the pump noise would bother you, just insulate it from the car when you mount it with some rubber. I would also recommend an adjustable regulator and fuel pressure guage, just so you would know what the inline pump did to your fuel pressure and you would have control over it. Just don't want you to put an inline pump on and run it off the gas without the pump and go lean. (very bad!) Almost did it in my buick (knock guage saved my a**) and that's when I hotwired it!! Just trying to share my .02 cents! LOL! <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />
