Purely by accident had a friend prove that he could make it to the first turnout running a Holley 850 DP after blowing the fuse on his electric pump. Did it three times before we figured out the feed wire was shorting out when he launched. Large bowls on the Holley style carbs do a pretty fair job of covering up fuel system shortcomings.

Things get critical with a Quadrajet and not much forgiveness there. On Wheelspin's GTO were were running a RobMc550 and the car consistently got soft at the top of second gear. We simply couldn't suck enough fuel through the replacement 3/8" line to keep the Quadrajet happy. Things would probably have been fine with a Holley. Solution was very similar to the photo Tom V. posted above except we used a Carter electric pump. Same check valve and engineering. Les only used the booster for acceleration runs and drove around with the booster pump off. Always thought it would be a great idea to simply wire into the passing gear switch with a relay to turn the pump on at full throttle.

While everything worked great, we could have done better avoiding some of the elbows. Then again it was pretty cramped for space under his '66 GTO.

Here's the installation pic before wiring it up.
