Its alive!!! muuuhhaaaa..

I got my 12a half bridge port started today!!! I cant figure out my fuel though. On my fpr gauge, it says im only pushing 3 lbs. of pressure. I adjusted my holley fpr and it goes lower, but wont go any higher. I have a carter fuel pump on there too. What are the carter fuel pumps rated at? I am running a holley 465cfm too. should i get a new pump. Any suggestions?

they will do 7psi. donot know that the flow raiting is though.

your regulator may only go to three as well.. i know that holew makes two, donot remember where the split is though... one is like 0-3 (or maybe 4) and the other is that to , oh lets say eight.. (i am pulling these numbers out of the top of my head, so donot quote me on anything)

I answered your question on the other thread.

BTW, flow rating on the Carter Street/Race that I have is 7psi@92gph. That should be shitloads of fuel, I can't imagine you needing more than that.

The holley FPR's are 1-4psi, and 4.5-9psi.
