Will my pump hold up to the extra power?

Ive got a holley blue pump on my car currently and im wondering if it will hold a 150 shot on top of the mods in my sig? My motor is about 400 flywheel. Soon will be about 440 flywheel. If not which i dont think it will what would be a good pump for my setup ive heard aeromotive are really nice.

Just had an aeromotive street pump installed over the weekend with my blower package. Awesome pump for the money.

I had the whipple ordered for sometime now. I was just interested in picking up the cheap weiand on ebay for another project but passed. Will have pics up as soon as i get the car back this week.

Waiting on a smaller pulley from whipple. Can't wait to see what she'l do with 12 pounds of boost.

what size fuel line do yuo have ???? -6min and -8 would be even better.... it will make a diff....... I still would be looking for a biger pump though . Like a barry grant 220, magnafuel 275, holley maxflow 250, mallory comp 250.. Or you get get away with a mallory 140 with -8 fuel line.

i just have standard size fuel line guess it would be 3/8 what ever was stock with efi. Im thinking about running my own seperate fuel system for the nitrous. Have a 1 gallon fuel cell with race gas and a inline pump. What would be a good pump to run on a setup like this? Would a holley red or blue work?

thats the best way to do it. I run a seperate system on my car. I ran a 1 gallon cell, with a holley blue on it. I never had any problems. just make sure when you wire the system up that you do it right. so when you arm the nitrous it will turn on the pump as well. you dont want the pump to turn on when the nitrous turns on. thats a no no....
