    Thanks
    I will send you a close up.

    Speaking of fuel pumps what kind are you running. I am running one of those obnoxious sounding Holley Blue Pumps.

    It's a Holley red and it's awful, I had it in the engine compartment and it was hardly audible with ignition in the on position, now I have to crank it qwik to drown the noise out.
    Dennis has a great sounding exhaust system but it was overpowered by the whine from the pump (I think his is the Blue).
    My exhaust is louder so it drowns the pump whine out.

    I don't know the output info on my fuel pump, but it is totally silent. I had my first pump mounted under the hood, and it was terrible. Clatter, clatter, clatter.......you get the message. This pump is put out by MASTER Fuel pumps, and flows very well for me. I have run it hard and never had a fuel starvation problem with this pump. Of course I don't know if it will feed some of ya'll's engines, but for me it works great. You hear it for about 1/2 of a second when I hit the switch, then you hear nothing. I can try and find the flow specs for ya'll. Preston

    I had a blue and I couldnt stand how loud it was. I ran across a great seal on a high dollar Paxton so I bought it hoping it was quieter. It wasent.

    I wish my pump was quieter. I have looked at the Aeromotive A1000 but would like to hear one first.

    Rick, here are a couple of more shots of my March brackets
