    I was out driving the other day and got pretty much fed up with the noise from my Holley blue pump! I picked up a new Holley HP 125 and just installed it! Wow..is all I can say! This pump is quiet! You can just barely hear it when I turn the key...but once the car is running you do not hear anything...incredable! I am just so impressed right now! I should have done this long ago...so if anyone is looking for a quiet electric pump...here it is. I got model # 12-125...supposed to be good up to 700horse..so its not a cheapy thing

    here is a link: http://media.putfile.com/fuel-pump notice how loud it is compared to th klinking of the car keys as I turn the ignition. When the car is running the sound is totally gone! Of course...my car is pretty quiet to start with. The Holley Blue was mega mind-numbinly loud and the inside and just plain annoying on the outside. I love this pump:thumbs2:best thing I did this year!

    Since I've already bought 3 different pumps. I will wait for a second opinion before buying the forth. Who is next? :D

    I looked at the HP 150 also on Summits site, but I wonder if it would be as quiet when all that extra pressure is pushing against the regulator (sort of dead heading and loading up against the pump) :hmmm:??

    Also I`m thinking that if the 12-125 model is supposed to support 700 horse power ,it would be all I will EVER need.:oops:


    I`m actually exited about this because the ONLY thing I don`t like about driving my car is that nerve racking fuel pump noise!

    I wondered about the 150 model also. We will see, I got it for $195 including shipping.

    I might look into that as well. My fuel pump sounds like a blender full tree branches.
    That thing is whisper quiet!

    Quiet fuel pump? I thought that was an oxymoron? My is a constant WAHH-WAHH-WAHH-WAHH - even over the 40's. :16suspect

    I have some questions about the noise from electric pumps.
    I have always double isolated electric pumps. I mount a plate with rubber isolators to the frame (or sub-frame) and then mount the pump to the isolated plate with another set of isolators. I use rubber fuel line to the pump from the tank and connect the pump to my metal fuel line with a short length of rubber fuel line. Connected and mounted in this way I have never had much noise from any pump I have used. Certainly no noise that can be heard in the cab while the engine is running. (I use quiet mufflers because I don't like the noise at road speed)
    How are you mounting and connecting your pumps?
