Fuel pump
Never ending story...The usual problem regarding EFI in line pump is to mount it low so it always will get fuel. Volvo and Saab uses a pre pump for this problem. Will it be OK to use a blue Holley to feed my A1000 pump? When the EFI pump get fuel will it get enough fuel thru the Holley?

that would work well if you were using the Holley pump to feed a separate surge tank of a gallon or more, then using that to feed the efi pump. But I do not think you want to do it the way you described.

I know it will work with a separate tank. I used pre/ low pressure pump on a Turbo Volvo project and Some Volvo's and Saab use pre pump from the factory...

well, give it a shot and let us know how it works out. Originally Posted by Olav

You never want to restrict the inlet of a big EFI pump.
I cannot say it won't work because I would have never considered doing this. I would mount the pump lower so it picks up easy with a #10 unrestricted inlet and call it a day. The A1000 doesn't have to be below the tank level, I've had them at just below the top of the tank and they worked fine on 800+ rwhp setups.
