LJ355 is the Carter you are talking about feeding a 355? where did you get it for that price?

if you like to keep a manual gage just use a tee piece at the oil pump.

I think we've had this conversation before Darren, but I'm also running the Carter black pump on my 383 (which has run 11's now) without a problem. Definitely quieter than Holley pumps that I've heard. I've never had any issues with it at all. This is with a single 1/2 line & no return.
I do like the Mallory pumps too - they seem pretty quiet and certainly flow heaps of fuel. Can't comment on the other pumps as I've never dealt with them.

The new range of Holley Billet pumps are a lot quieter, and will support a healthy 355 easily. They are a georotor design rather than a vane pump.

My car has run 11.77 down the quarter (383 chev), so it's by no means anything insane, yet it still goes pretty good. Why are all of us with Carter pumps off in our own world??? (I've heard of plenty of people who use the Carter's as lift pumps just to feed surge tanks etc!).....

aeromotive seems to be the new kid on the block has anyone had any experience with them? as makka said they look good.
or as BOTTLEDUP said maybe i should consider one of these

BOTTLEDUP - I would appreciate someone of your experience giving your thoughts on the Carter black pumps that a few of us have mentioned - what is your honest opinion of them?? I know several people using them (myself, Tiny, other mates etc), and I've never heard any bad stories. But at the same time, I never hear any serious drag racers or hard-core cars talking about them...

Hiya, I'm a fan of the Carter Black, certainly excellent value for money. A friend of mine was running one on a 355, and it ran 11.26 without any fuel supply issues. Over the 6 years she's owned the car its killed a couple of them, but that has now been rectified with the use of a bypass style reg.
To sum up, I'd use a Carter over a Holley Blue for anything up to about 400-450hp. From then on I'd look at the new Holley Billet pumps or a Magnafuel 275.
Nothing wrong with the Aeromotive pumps either, but like the Mallory's and Magnafuels they need to be used with their own specific regulator which will set you back about $200-300 just for the reg.

What about electric pumps of all the cars produced in the last 18 years or so(rather than aftermarket), would any of them be up to the task? Im sure most of them would be a lot quieter as people would complain with a noisy pump in a new car.

Yer the carter is a good pump for the money but! the mallory is the quietest
And a better pump design go the mallory

devil EFI fuel pump run very high fuel pressure when compared to a carby electric fuel pump.I suppose I am, so they are unsuitable?devil: ^^your talking mostly fuel injection pumps in cars 18 years or newer
ok another vote for the Mallory, so far i think thats the one to get.
i have heard a mallory and the noise level is acceptable, i am not sure that there will be a quieter one than that.
BOTTLEDUP, have you heard how noisy the Holley billet base 150's are?
and rough prices for those holleys?

I'm now using a mallory bypass reg so hopefully that'll give the pump a bit easier time too.
I might post a question in the electrical section about the tachiometric relay and how best to wire one...
Cheers!

It's a relay.1 wire is earth,1 wire to the negative of the coil & the other wire will go to the back of the car to turn the relay on for the fuel pump.
