Well my Friday evening was a pain. Nice cruise to Walmart for some grill items only to end up stranded with no fuel pressure. Lucky enough had a friend not too far away to bum a ride home, and my trailer does have a winch so got the car home without any issues.
Haven't torn into it yet, but since fuel pump isn't kicking on with ignition I'll be dropping the gas tank. Since it will be out new fuel pump will be going in.
My question: Is there any reason I can't run a 190lph pump for a while before the blower is purchased?

Chase, make sure you check the connectors for the pump wiring before dropping the tank. These can become corroded over time. (Take it from someone who found out the hard way.Originally Posted by chasetopher
) There should be no reason you can't run the larger pump. I'm running a 255lph with 30# injectors and no power adder of any kind.

I'll certainly spend a few mins checking the wires, but I'm almost confident its the pump itself. I've had suspicions about it as under load after 5500 rpm i feel like recently it has started to hesitate/lose power lean out etc. I'm running a fairly similar set up as you Bruce, 30# injectors and the like. After I get through this terrible week @ UNH I'll tear into the car. I think i'll be alright with a 190lph as i dont plan on ever going beyond 500 hp, but then again i always love overkill....

I hear you, bro! At least when I got mine the difference between 190 and 255 was about 20 bucks, so the choice was obvious!
