Fuel pump reccomendation

jimzzilla · Feb 19, 2025

Hello, I have a 1988 Mustang here are the specs:

327 Stroker Motor.
Forced Induction - Procharger D1Sc / 12 PSI pulley.
Quick Fuel 650 blow thru carb.
Aeromotive A 100 Fuel Pressure Regulator.
Motor Dyno's at 586HP.
Base fuel pressure at regulator 6 PSI
Street Driven.

One of my fuel pumps failed so after 6 years I an going to replace them both.
I cannot find any part numbers so I want to get the correct ones.
the 2 fuel pumps are inline and are located on the outside of the fuel tank.

The fuel line comes out of the gas tank (AN-8) into a pre filter and then into a Y conector to feed the 2 pumps
then another Y connector coming out of the pumps bring it into one fuel line, to a after filter and then to the
blow thru carb.

I want to get Walbro pumps the GSL393 pump looks like the one I need for my application, or so I think
that is why I am here asking. Thank you in advance for your advice, James.

Below are the specifications of the pumps,

What is normal fuel pressure for your rig, at idle?

Never mind, I missed it the first time.

None of those pumps are what you need. Pretty sure you need a pump for a Carb.

I just saw @AeroCoupe running through the hallway.

He will know.

Went into the other room but I'm here...so my first question is can you post up a picture of the existing pumps? In my head this just doesn't make any sense as typically you do not use pumps that put up EFI pressures to run a carb setup. Would also like to see a pictures of the regulator as the A 100 part number is not pulling up. Also, is the tank sumped or are you feeding it from a pickup assembly where the old fuel pump hanger mounted?

Yes I was mistaken about the fuel pressure regulator it is a Aeromotive A 1000

Product Info

P/N 13204: A1000 Carbureted return style Regulator

The A1000 return style Regulator was designed for use with our A1000 Fuel Pump or similar style EFI pumps in a carbureted application. This regulator is perfect for naturally aspirated or 'blow-through' supercharged engines.

Base fuel pressure adjustable from 3-15 PSI.
(1) ORB-10 inlet port and (1) ORB-08 return port.
P/N 13204 provides (2) ORB-06 outlet ports and 1/8' NPT gauge port.
Fuel pressure rises on a 1:1 ratio when referencing boost.
return style design provides the ultimate, dynamic fuel delivery system.
This product is not legal for sale or use on emission-controlled vehicles except when used as a direct replacement part matching OEM specifications.
EFI conversions will require a larger-than-stock return line for proper low pressure control.

Please see below my fuel pump set up.

Okay, now I understand what you have going on. Two more questions, what is your maximum boost pressure and is the 586 hp on a motor dyno or chassis dyno? I read you have a 12 psi pulley on the blower but wanted to see if it was actually making that much or more.

jimzzilla · Feb 20, 2025

I do not know what the maximum boost pressure is but the HP numbers were on a chassis Dyno.
Personally I think the 12 psi pulley is a little much but I do not have any extra room for a 10 psi pulley
due to hood clearance.

Okay, so you are well past 600 crank hp which means you need to step up to the GSL391's which can support 400 hp each in a boosted application so a total of 800hp. The GSL393's are 330 hp each so a total of 660 hp which gives you about zero room being the motor is probably making that or more on an engine dyno. Just my .02.

I think you mean the GSL393's...

AeroCoupe · Feb 20, 2025

Yes sir and corrected.

jimzzilla · Feb 20, 2025

I do not know if there is a rule of thumb but 586 HP on a chassis dyno is approximately how much HP at the fly?

85GTStangGuy · Feb 20, 2025

Auto or stick?

I'd guess you're at least 690 fwhp.... maybe as much as 730.

jimzzilla · Feb 20, 2025

Auto, so I guess about 20% drive train loss?

Yea, in that area. Depending on the tranny, and how it's built, the numbers I've seen bandied about are 18-20%.
