Car boggs out when high acceleration?
I have a electric fuel pupm mounted under my gas tank(when i bought the car it was in the engine bay, and it was too much for the pump to handle and it gave out). I bought a pump just like it at autozone, the $45 one for v8 engines. When i try to race on anything too much my car sputters and dies, so i have to pop the hood and suck on a gas line to prime it again, what should i do? Get a better pump and regulator?

Re: Car boggs out when high acceleration?
Thats odd. Sounds like your pump aint doing its job. I usually mount them just in fron of the axle where the fuel line comes down from the tank. I'd try a better pump and of course mount it low. Make sure all you clamps are tight so that you're not sucking air.

Detention time.
Drop the tank, install a good pump like the Walbro mentioned, use a return-style regulator like a Mallory 4309 to drop the pressure down to a carb-friendly 4-7 psi, and use the supply line as a supply line and the return line as a return line.

I have a summit inline pump mounted above my gas tank and it does fine on my 355.
