Is it really that much more complicated? and how many GPH should i flow?
You sould be in the 6-8GPH range for a farly stock car..
if you go over 300hp I would move to about 9- 10 GPH.. I would change the lines to AN first then go with the pump...
see thats the thing i think that i will be right under 300 hp.
I have to run new fuel lines anyways and i am plannin on AN. How much should i need and what size?
Also what psi should i run at?
6an is plenty...most people over kill on fuel lines thinking they need 8an / 1/2" lines. Aeromotive pumps flow up to 700hp (carb pumps) and use 3/8" fittings. You will want to run between 8-12psi
For a carb, he'll need less pressure. 4-7 psi is plenty. 8-12 and he'll need to step it down with a regulator. I'd run a regulator regardless of what pump though with an electric.
Are there any electric pumps out there that are 4-7 psi?
If I went with the 8-12 pump would i regulate it to 4-7?
If i end up going mechanical can i still do an inline filter?
On an electric setup is the wiring difficult, cause the pump has to know somehow how much it needs to flow?
In the electrical setup does the filter go first?
Sorry i know there are alot of questions but I just want to do it the right way.
Thanks a ton guys!
man..when you get around to it, let me know, I can help ya out. Its not that hard, it really isnt. The hardest part is the price.
Summit makes great kits with a decent price. Its cheaper to buy the kit than it is to buy it all individually.
Here is the perfect setup for you

its a holley blue pump, regulator, lines, fittings and basically everything you need wrapped up in 1 kit. There will be 2 questions on installing the kit... how to tap into the fuel tank and how to connect the hose on the carb. If there are barb fittings, then you wont use the last couple AN fittings, just use a hose clamp. You will run a line on the suction side of the pump from the tank to the pump...I just connect the filter to the pump with a 3/8" pipe coupler then out of the filter towards the front of the car to the bottom of the regulator. From the regulator, choose your favorite side and you will use an 3/8" to -6an fitting into a fuel line to the carb. The kit has everything + some that you will need. To regulate pressure, you should buy a pressure gauge...it will mount to the regulator...or you can buy the carb feed lines with the regulator attached like this: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SUM-G3120&N=700+115&autoview=sku it has a 3/8" pipe inlet, so you can run an AN fitting straight into it (you will need a 3/8" to 6an fitting...which is included in the kit)
wiring is pretty easy... you just need to run a switched hot out to the fuel pump..the ground can be done under the car with a short wire and an eyelet...
