What mechanical fuel pump would you reccomend for a carb'd 383 stroker pushing about 500 hp?

1) Mechanical , is mechanical. Wear.

2) Cooler fuel supply.

3) more efficient to push fuel than to pull it, under g's. No fuel starvation.

4) Will never vapor lock (maybe in the Mojave desert), see #2

Aeromotive has some nice stuff. Check Jegs.
