Magna Fuel for me, very reliable and excellent service. I run 24 lbs forward, controls that without a problem, 4.5 PSI to the carb.

I have run a regular Holley regulator on my cars for a long, long time. Never had an issue and ran good.

I believe the only difference between the regular Holley Blue style regulator and the Holley Black recommended regulator is the orifice size (larger) and it says its alcohol compatible. I never read that and ran a Blue style regulator with the Black pump, but never noticed anything......

It was probably worth another tenth..

Don't forget Quick Fuel. Replaced my old Holley with one and am very pleased. Much better quality and the price is right. Jim

Times, fuels, and fuel demands have changed a lot over the years, I too got away with using the old antiquated Holley stuff for years then did some fuel flow testing boy we got educated in a hurry, switched to hight tech at the time BG stuff which all failed within weeks, then we met kyle fickler who turned us on to Aeromotive switched everything over picfked up ET and speed along with reliability, not one failure in 13 years 6 cars 5 stockers 2 carb and 2 EFI and 1 carb SS car we obviously have access to every brand at our speed shop but we only sell Aeromotive for race or competition applications at MMR we do stock some holley blue and black for the cheapskates who just won't learn to buy the good stuff once the first time mostly bracket racers and street rodders most class guys know better, all you have to do is lose one critical round due to a failed pump or regulator one particular class final round comes to my mind from memphis in 1997 eternal battle ford vs chebbie for the trophy and the glory must have been 500 people on the starting line a virtual who's who of pros,sportsman and manufacturers as Bob Frey really played the match up over the PA motor all oiled up intake iced down ERC in the tank etc and my Holley billet 250 pump quit in the water how embarrasing would have been quite the race as we were within a couple hundreths and covered the other 2 guys by tenths

Aeromotive is made by racers, and is made here in Kansas City. Good people and products.

"Times, fuels, and fuel demands have changed a lot over the years"

Heres the thing... lets say you have a S/S car that runs 9.90 with a 1.28 60 foot, and a Q-Jet and the car leaves @ a 45 degree angle, theres no pump running a rated 14 PSI thats going to over come the G-forces at a 45 degree angle and maintain the float level, you are hurting your self in the 330, and this is exactly what you found out Alex. When your car has the potential to leave and you cut corners on the fuel system, your screwing yourself.

Aeromotive all the way. I bought my first pump second hand ,and it developed a leak at the body seal. I called them up they said send it in, a minimal charge was laid but haven't had a problem since and that was 6 or 7 years ago. I have bought nothing else since, the regulators are rock steady and accurate, the fittings are leak free...very happy with Aeromotive.

The fuel pressure in a wheel stand also couldn't be any more steady, my old holley I had to compensate for the wheelie FWIW.
