you need at least 12.7psi for every 1G of acceleration.
Don't for get about the G spike at launch.
And keep you regulator FORWARD of the carbs.

i can see how this system works with the return style reg and holley type pump holley type carb, but with this return style fuel pump if i were to fit a return style reg up front i will most likley have to block the pump return off completly and then rely on it to pump up the front and regulate it back to 3psi after carbs and then it would be pumping like well it reconds 275GPH freee flow i think past the weber carbs that scares me a bit it could prolly blow the arse clean out of the float bowl if somthing were to go wrong hehe.
geez i can see now why we stayed with the 6 valve chev mech both when we ran pump fuel and alcohol...............

things have been going slow as i dont have that much time to work on it latley and the intrest has also been lacking but i have finaly got the mount for the vac pump sorta made just some final trimming and i might lift it up some if i can as at the moment it sits just about 10mmm lower than the front crosmember but have now got some things back from pete (runna202) that he has welded for me the tank the fuel pump plate breather box oh and the gauge thing to accept the vac gauge.here are some pics.
Thanks Hayden

we have run 12.79@ 105mph on pump fuel and 12.83 @107mph on alcohol. we just have a profesionaly ported 9 port head and flat tappet cam 255deg @.050" 500" lift and acl pistons red crank blue rods. no never had it on a dyno only at strip.
we now are running same head and cam little less comp but forged pistons and a fair amount of other stuff on this engine but you would have read about it in this thread anyway.

just an update i have now fitted the vac pump but there is a few teething problems with it already just started it thisafternoon yet to drive it it seems very noisey and might be pulling to much oil aswell but will have to drive it to make sure and i gather i need to drive it to set regulator valve.. so here are some pics of it.
Thanks Hayden

Just thought I'd show you my mad project. It'll also answer people's questions whether or not you can use mechanical injection and strata turbo systems.

That vacuume pump pulley is too small, they need to be under driven (never over 6000 revs). The crank pulley should be half its size, thats why you are pulling oil. They should pull a small amount of oil, to help lubricate the seals.
it is underdriven, he sed he's only taking it to 7000, so the pump would be spinning at near 6000 at those revs.
but cant see clearly in those pics. what diametre is the balancer and pully hayden?

but the noise it makes is like a baffle loose on an exhaust pipe but makes the noise whether it is blowing into breather box or not and makes it even if it isint pulling vac at all?.iv only had it running up on jack stands i guess when i drive it it might get a little quiter?.
Thanks Hayden

have been told that it will get quiter once run in. so i then went and made this new pulley arangement today and seems alot better way quiter am yet todrive it but pulls vacume at around 4,000 so will play with regulator valve tommorow as i still have to make spacer for pump hub .
but the new pulley is 2" diameter and from my calculations should spin pump to just under 3,000rpm
