Do you think it will support 800H/P? Literature says it will support 1000 hp Naturally Aspirated.


Also, what is Your fuel system? I would pull the line from the carb, run the pump through the regulator into a 5 gal gas can. Run it for 1 minute to check how much gas it pumps. General rule is a motor needs 1/2 lb (weight) of fuel per HP per Hour.. So a 600 HP motor will need 300 lbs by weight of fuel per hour. 1 pound of gas weighs 6.5 lbs. So using this formula Run the pump through the regulator for 1 minute. If it pumps 2 gallons of gas that should be enough to support 780 HP. ( 2gal. X 6.5lbs X 60minutes) [/FONT]
1000 HP, Not likely. Solid 600 hp NA pump.
Maybe ok for 750 HP NA. 1000 HP, I would find that claim exceptional.

Only guy I know of who drag raced a 1000+ HP NA Pontiac was Mike Leech
and he wasn't running a Aeromotive single 750 fuel pump to my knowledge.
