Race Pumps mechanical fuel pump

I like the Racepump theory and packaging, but I just run a Holley Street/Strip pump, (no regulator 110 GPH?) and it is plenty.
Same as any Carter/Edelbrock/Holley
If you feel you need more, the upgrade 130 GPH, or a CV Products Speedway type pump will get r dun.
I do run a roller tip pump pushrod, just 'cause it's really cool.

I just never felt that using a huge fuel pump to connect to a spring and ball sitting on a .135" orifice made any sense.
A by-pass style regulator setup after the carb inlets might make sense.

I will NEVER, EVER be caught with an electric fuel pump on anything I own, other than the daily driver fuel injections.

I have seen races lost and oil pans crushed from a pump failure, or failure of the driver to turn it on.
