From what you're saying, it sounds like 150gph should be more than
enough. The BG280 is probably overkill. I was thinking about using a

looks like they come with a basic 2-port regulator.
What about brands?
Hi Matt... It doesn't sound like you have a motor set on KILL, so I

All we'd used in racing was a holley 'blue' regulator...fuel entered

Don't know how true it is but Ihave always
heard not to run all steel braided hose on a street car. Something about the
