It depends. On a NA car it might be fine. With a turbo you're going to need to know how much boost you plan to run and add that to your base pressure to get what you need to support. I can't tell you how many times I refer people to http://www.maxcooper.com and check out his fuel calculator.

45 base pressure + 20 max boost. More whenever I rebuild the motor.

67 gph is around 250 lph, that should handle it.

good price too.

I don't know about that. The Nippon Denso falls off sharply at higher psi. You really need to know how the Holley is rated for 65psi. Actually, unless you're running at least AN-08 to the rails and back, you'll need more than that to defeat the resistance. Say, 10 psi for non-stock upgraded lines (I think 5 psi for AN-08 all the way around is conservative) so you'll need more than 65psi. Like 75 psi. You really want to over-engineer the fuel system a little bit, but not sewer pipe-style!.

Ask for the rating for 75psi. And then you'll be in the know.

Fwiw, Bosch goes to 95psi.

Hey thats my line!

But he's right, make sure the efficiency doesn't drop off at 65psi. This is the reason I got a bosch pump but now I'm unsure if I got the right pump because I just found out it's the 165lph Bosch pumps can take serious pressure, unlike most others.

btw 165lph = 43.65gph
