    not to be a hard ass or anything but It is hard to believe CV'S mech pumps 90 gallons per minute, Add that up to a per hr is 5400 gallons per hr:idea2: , so think about that for a second, you have a what for size of fuel tank, 20 to 23 gallon tank, you'll suck that dry in what :idea2: 23 seconds flat, and blow out every single gasket in the carb too. That a bold statement on the gpm to gph. I was lookin at majority of electric fuel pumps and not one comes close to CV'S pumps:puzzled: ! Not even Megnafuel electric fuel pumps, but I don't see any of the big time drag racers using this pump, why? Maybe Devon can chimme in and explain way, I was going off of what I know as a street racer, even eddy's pumps don't flow that much and their basically the same (diaphragm) pump. I urge anyone to look in this, because as JW said him self" he does'nt have 16' foot of twist and turns" You maybe lucky once and sometimes more then that, but your going to toast something sooner or later. That's why I prefer electric over manual, consistent fuel pressure and NO PRESSURE DROP, NOT EVEN ONE POUND DIFFERENCE. one pound is not much but thats one tenth of a chance in frying a $2000 to a $10,000 engine. I would not even think twice on that.
