That will be fine depending on power output.

cossie pumps gravity fed so be careful how its all mounted roosie, we use twin Facet Red tops, some people use a singlr Blue Holley

The twin facets feed a 1 litre swirl pot then that feeds a 044

we had fuel issues last year on the track car as we tried using a standard pump, the cost of red tops are cheap but they are fooking noisy

i think noise of the pumps will be last of worries with a GT35 (Screamer pipe) and twin side exits on 4" bore

would be a lot better if we could but we already had the swirl pot, may change at some point but we are only running baby power buddy, so more than enough for us

If you are using a gt35 then your high pressure pump is going to be at best marginal never mind the low pressure side
