Is a blue pump enough?

Postby GO OVRIT » Sun Mar 16, 2008 6:08 pm

I've almost got the money for some 435s. I planned on going with a 2nd gen pump and regulating it, but extra income is scarce right now. I've got a few Holley blue pumps. Is it enough to support the new sticks for awhile, or should I hold off until I can do a piston pump? Aslo with the blue pump, I shouldn't need any regulator should I?

the holley blues like to self destruct very quickly. When I ahd my 435's the blue would only give me 5psi at wot.

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.
