before leaving the subject of elec power, i'll mention this. in order 2 reduce the amount of elec power you need 2 operate your racer, you can eliminate the elec fuel pump. as you know, cars with carbs, came with manual pumps-not elec. many of the old musclecars would run well into the 13 sec range with only a manual pump. i'm a witness--my ole goat was 1 of em. today there are manual pumps avail that can eliminate the need for an elec pump. the 6907 carter will probably do the job well into the 12 sec range & the robbmac pumps will supply your racer for much higher power levels. dirt trackers are doin it every weekend--cause elec pumps are illeagal--for obvious fire hazard reasons. now, this i picked up from a chevy racer. a few years back as i was strollin thru the pits, checkin out some of the rides, i noticed this guy pourin fuel in under the hood, instead of at the rear. so i eased on over for a closer look. he had a small vertical fuel cell mounted in front of the engine. so, with that set up, you have gravity & the forward exceleration of the vehicle, forcing fuel down, out of the cell & back toward the manual fuel pump. that means it will take less suction power 2 get fuel 2 the pump--so, a less efficient pump, such as the 6907 carter may feed a racer on down into the hi 11 sec range, or maybe even quicker, especially if you're runnin a holley with the big fuel bowls on each end &/or only run 1/8 mile instead of 1/4. there are options. hey, its food for thought, ain't it?
