This is why I seldom post anything on boards. The original question was simple; "Has anyone converted to a bypass system and did it produce any gains?". The initial responders simply answer the question, but soon after, the "experts" show up, to criticize and belittle the questioner. I should be working on finding the right camshaft? Gulius picked the cam when he built the engine. I should understand what a fuel system really needs to work properly. I do. I've been racing for 35 years, and this whole thing started when I noticed the pump was delivering "beer foam" to the carburetor. Believe it or not, there was no perceivable performance deficiency. Investigated, learned that the pump had never been rebuilt and called John to discuss having it inspected and re-sealed. John asked if I had ever considered a bypass system (because the car uses a Q-jet), and went on to tell me how it had helped people like my friend Jason Line, with his Buick stocker. So, one more time; the question was "Has anyone converted to a bypass system and did it produce any gains?" Don't help; just answer the question.
