[Shotimes] Help with Fuel system problem.

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

I think the bigger pumps are unnecessary but some increase over stock seems
to be cheap insurance. If you run the numbers like Ted B. does in his
excellent book "SHO Performance Level 1". The stock MTX pump puts out 90
LPH. If it's 100% this will support 330 HP. So it's plenty stout but things
don't work 100% and aging takes it's toll. So the 190 LPH even working at
50% is still 95 LPH. It's like the stereo thing where you don't need 500
watts all the time but on music transients you do!
 Yes with a SC or running NOS you really need to look at the whole fuel
system, maybe even go beyond to some of the booster systems he sells for the
Scy/Ty guys or the heavily supercharged. One has a max. output of 130 psi!
