The fuel pump is one of the "foundation" pieces that makes a lot of other pieces work better. It gives you potential to tune well beyond your existing setup.

Silly question.
A TB will not do much for you at this point.
Fueling and tuning are your problem.

I agree with the fuel pump, is the stock unit in there right now? While you're at it, you might as well port that stock t/b for a little bit more breathing room up top.

the 255lph is a walbro right? I heard those are good.

I would have selected both as a choice, but you need that 255 more than a TB.

Believe me, the kids drain more out of the bank than the wife does. They're worth it though, most of the time.

What fuel pump did you get and where Travis?

Thunder Racing is having a 10% off sale.
I think I'll pick this 52mm TB up before the weekend is over.
$35 cheaper than Summit, ain't bad.

That must be why it's running well, it's got some of my car in it.

I'll let you know when I get the TB off, just ordered the Holley today.
Probably next weekend at the soonest if I have time.

Send it back I spun a bearing friday night and pulled the motor yesterday and found my B&M SFI Aproved flywheel was cracked all the way around the bolts and I only have 5490 miles on this flywheel.

Hmm this scares me, You mean flexplate correct? I will keep an eye on mine, It's not easy to swap them, So I will wait till I hear the same knocking sound I did with my stock one.
