Any good mechanical fuel pumps for blown 1000 plus hp?

Thinking of ditching the electric bg 280 fuel pump and going mechanical for simplicity on blown 572 mild boost, any recommendations?

Do you need belt driven or cam driven? I know lots of drag race guys that run race pumps. (race in the company name) I have no clue if you need a belt driven pump.

I like the idea of this deal. Once my electric pump goes this is probably what I will go with. It doesn't look like you will have to cut the motor plate either.

The Clay Smith pumps should support it,, depending on how much boost and horsepower. At least one of my 1000+ horsepower turbo engines is running one.

Standard location bbc, just around 10 lbs boost on av gas.

Wow prices have gone up. I think I paid $110 for mine on my Southwind but that was 10 years ago.

Sounds like it would be sufficient, I have seen some mechanical holley pumps that are over 240gph but they are also 4-500 bucks.

If you read their description, it says theoretically 1300 HP on gas.

As I said, one of my turbo engines that dynoed over 1050 HP has been running one for a couple of years now, sometimes several days a week, probably has gotten more total use than most people may put on a boat in 8 or 10 years since he lives at the river.

I would call down there and talk to George if you want a greater level of comfort.

I've got a clay smith on mine. 1050hp. Its backed up with and electric too each on check valves. I flip the switch for the elec to help when running it hard for a long time.

I'm having really good luck using one of the Racepumps setup on my twin turbo Daytona on E85.
