FUEL-INJECTED BIG-BLOCK CHEVY ENGINES NEED RACEPUMPS

THOMASVILLE, NC: An electric fuel pump for a high-horsepower EFI big-block Chevy engine can be surprisingly heavy. Now add the batteries needed to keep that pump running for a quarter-mile, or worse the TWO sets of pumps and batteries needed for a really powerful fuel-thirsty engine. It's enough weight to take a nasty bite out of the power gained by switching to electronic fuel injection.

Performance upgrades don't always add weight however, check out the VR-VD billet aluminum mechanical EFI fuel pump from RacePumps. The reciprocating-piston EFI RacePump weighs just over a pound and is roughly one-third the size of most low-pressure mechanical fuel pumps, which means it's smaller and substantially lighter than the typical high-pressure electric pump. Designed for fuel-injected big-block Chevy engines from 200 to 2,856 horsepower, the EFI RacePump has an unregulated pressure of 150 PSI and a horsepower-saving 105 Lbs of pushrod force, which is actually 20 Lbs less than the typical low-pressure mechanical pump for carbureted engines. CNC-machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and internally hardcoated for long-term reliability (matte versions are hardcoated inside and out), the EFI RacePump features gasket-free O-ring mounting flange sealing, stainless steel internal parts and proprietary seals designed for gasoline and methanol applications. Turbocharged, nitrous or high-compression engines won't tolerate fuel starvation, so the EFI RacePump delivers 204 gallons per hour at an unregulated pressure of 150 PSI at any RPM between idle and 10,000. The EFI RacePump only pumps as much fuel volume as is needed thanks to its valveless, variable-displacement and anti-drainback design, and works great with deadhead regulators that are upgraded with RacePumps' high-pressure regulator spring (included). Each EFI RacePump comes with a -10 inlet and -8 outlet installed, a spare -8 inlet, high-pressure regulator spring, 12-point high-grade mounting bolts, and is available with a gunmetal grey or brightly polished finish.
