Anyone have experiece with these fuel pumps?????

[MEAN_SBC]

Would this be a good idea to run on a blow-through carbureted setup??? they look pretty appealing to me, and no loud electric pump...

I'm thinking of runnin one, any opinions???

Here is thier FAQ. seems like a whole lotta advertising. I would like to see a flow sheet with flow VS Press on this pump. they say 3000 HP :|

Frequently Asked Questions
Q Why does the Race Pump produce so much pressure?
A Fuel pressure regulators work much better at higher inlet pressures. If you attempt to regulate 12-15 PSI down to 6-9 PSI, the regulator can't maintain the same pressure at high RPMs and idle.

Q Does the Race Pump offer more chassis clearance?
A Yes, the Race Pump is smaller in every dimension.

Q What is the expected life?
A The Race Pump has far fewer moving parts than traditional designs and should last indefinitely, however contaminants in the fuel may damage it.

Q Can the Race Pump be rebuilt?
A The pump may be returned to the factory for refurbishing. The charge is $50.00 plus freight.

Q Are the seals compatible with Gasoline and Methanol?
A Yes.

Q What fuel pressure regulator should I use?
A The Race Pump will work with standard regulators and bypass valves. Our extensive testing with gasoline indicates smaller regulators such as the Holley 12-803 (most suppliers have a regulator this size) control the fuel pressure more consistantly than larger regulators due to the higher inlet pressure produced by the Race Pump. Methanol applications don't work well with a regulator. Bypass systems with or without an idle blleed work well. Our tests indicated that the idle bleed isn't necessary. Set the fuel pressure at 4,000 RPMs. The idle pressure will be about 1/2 the set pressure without an idle bleed. Installing the bypass valve at the fuel cell rather than behind the carburetor will make the fuel pressure smoother at idle.

Q Can the Race Pump be used with a bypass regulator?
A Yes, but it will require a considerably smaller bypass jet.

Q How will the Race Pump affect my camshaft?
A Fuel pump lobe wear on the camshaft is virtually eliminated with the Race Pump.

Q What kind of fuel pump push rod do I need?
A Any fuel pump push rod may be used.

Q How much pressure does the Race Pump put on the fuel pump push rod?
A 25 — 35 pounds (depending on flow rate) traditional fuel pumps have 100-125 pounds of pressure on the fuel pump push rod.

Q The pump comes with -10 and -8 inlet fittings, which should I use?
A Always use a -10 inlet with Methanol (don't use a 90 degree fitting on the pump). Gasoline engines can use the -10 or the -8.

Q What is the maximum flow?
A 204 Gallons Per Hour....enough for nearly 3,000 horsepower.

Q How can such a small pump deliver more fuel than the traditional design?
A Traditional pumps were designed for 2,000 RPM engines that got 2 MPG, they were never intended for today's higher RPM engines. The Race Pump is a fresh new design that borrows nothing from earlier fuel pumps.

they note in the tech forum "not recommend on anything faster then 9 sec with rear mounted fuel cell"

other wise??
