I used to use a facet red top on my 4.6 which runs an Eddy 500, the lump produced 285 on the rollers and the pump was OK for that. (This is despite Facet stating that the pump is only good enough for something daft like 150 BHP).

I now run an Eddy fuel pump to ensure that there is enough fuel for my NOS system. The pump is as quiet as a mouse and pumps gallons of fuel.

Neither pump requires a regulator which is handy! (Dunno what pressure or other carbs will run at).

Facit Red top would get you there

A number of Ford 302 GT40's run them on Holleys and about 350 - 380hp and have no problems

I looked at all the well-known American pumps Summit was offering and Facet. Most were claimed to be rather noisy and some not too reliable.

So I eneded up buying a Pierburg rollervane pump which is mounted inline on the crossmember outside the tank on my 4.6 with Eddy 500.

Supposed to support 340hp, rated at 3.9 - 5.5 psi, delivers 130 litres per hour (34.34GPH), self priming, lift capable, no return, very quiet, weighs 0.5kilo.
