how do you like the mallory? running a regulator? is it loud or get hot on longer drives? im debating on switching to an elec or adding a pusher to my system. i have the robbmc pickup, 1/2" line to -8 braided from pump to carb. but with a q-jet my mech pump cant seem to keep it fed on hard launches. very happy with the times & dyno numbers so far but i know theres more in it if i can get the fuel pump up to par.

congrats again on the 11.4, im right behind ya & searching for lower 11's. also agree on the lower gears, i run a 3.23. with the high torque of the big pontiacs, a high gear isnt needed & will kill any streetability, which is what you & i built the car for, i drive the heck out of mine & didnt want a full on drag car that i cant drive & enjoy.
