1) Nothing wrong with having a decent running, reliable running car. So the first question would be what is your definition of "a decent running" car? Is this a 350 HP 400 cid engine?, 400 HP?, 450 HP?, 500 HP?

So your goals see pretty vague when discussion what fuel pump/fuel system you need with boost. 70bird has a Firebird (Actual Street Car) with a turbo system that he put together that is very reliable and makes 700+ hp. He recommended the A1000 pump and a 13202 regulator, which he knows actually works.

So the numbers actually do mean something.

Course if you are planning on RESTORING a Turboforce car with the same 301 Rajay turbo that was installed in 1978 and the making that level of HP then use exactly what Craig recommended as it worked in 1978 for that HP level. Craig told me one time that he thought the Turbo Force system put out about 450 HP. You can make 450 HP with just about any fuel pump, even a Holley Blue Pump.
