how much fuel pump for carb
Is the stock fuel pump on a lg4 enough once secondaries in carb are changed and other small mods. are added,exaust,etc.no internal mods?This fuel pump I got from trak was awful cheap,but the only thing I could find with a return line,and Id like to keep that.Whats the best one wih a return line?

A stock pump is probably going to be more than adequate until you start making some serious modifications. I'm still running one on my car.

Probably be fine until you get into the 14.0 second range at least. But my Malibu even with a high volume Carter pump fell on its face at about the 13.7 range. The pump wasn't out of capacity, really, its just the draw from the tank was too long, through too skinny a line.
