you don't really need one yet but if you did just the holley Red which will still support the engine even if you do some more upgrades like aluminum heads.

don't forget the regulator...

I have a holley red for sale

But yes, the engine is very mild.

My 306 makes 300rwhp and 312rwtq and I have a holley red on it.

I'm with 12sec. IMO if you don't NEED one, they are noisy and just one more thing to add to a 40 year old wiring harness. I was glad to get rid of the N2O because it is one less thing tied into it.

Mr. Gasket P/N 12S is plenty enough for your needs---4-7 psi & 35 gal/hr. I use one to feed a 400+ hp three carb 331.

Caution on noise from Holley Red

From personal experience: The Holley Red is noticeably LOUD. I switched to a Mallory Comp Pump 110 series ( a 70 series would be fine for your car I think) and it operates with no noticeable noise from inside the car. 2100 miles without a problem so far.

FYI,
Kent

Never seen the plastic housing unit. I have two in metal, the one on my Ranger is also about 7 years old and still doing the job.
