I have a Holley black which TBH is a little over kill for my set up as they flow 140gph enough to feed two 044's.

Give me a PM if interested as im thinking about changing it.

thanks for the prompt replys. it doesn't need much supply..its actually for a 1 litre ecoboost conversion i'll soon be doing in my kitcar! obviously it'll be uprated but even so, won't be pushing a huge amount of fuel

What tank ? internal or external ?

if it's a kit car with presumably a custom tank ? Why not just make it so no swirl tank etc is needed at all ?

I use a Facet Red Top, a bit noisy but does the job for my 044 and 360bhp

Only use an efi type pump if the main tank is designed with an internal collector so it doesnt see air.
Trying to draw air will kill most efi pumps quite quickly.
