I am running a carter street/strip pump 7 psi pump. It is on a 13B 6 port with the racing beat set up. I think the holleys can take about 6-7 psi. I am running about 5 1/2 out of my reg. You might need a little more than that.

As of now, I have a 12a bridge (holley 600, rb full exhuast) and I run the holley red fuel pump @ 7psi. Haven't had any fuel problems what-so-ever.
