Take a moment and think about something! There is probably enough fuel in the float bowls on a Holley carb to do a burn out and make a full 1/4 mile pass before you run out of fuel at the 1/4 mile mark !!! How much fuel do you think is going to pass thru 4 little jets??? All you are trying to do is overcome the acceleration of the vehicle and keep an adequate supply of fuel going thru the carb to the engine--- Unless you have 600 inches or something like that and you putz around at the starting line a decent pump and large enough fuel lines should be able to supply adequately the needs for most applications. My .02 cents flame away if you want to .... FED 387
