The Shop Truck

1971 Chevy C20 with a custom flat bed.
No experience with those, I doubt it would be strong enough though.

So now I've hit a wall in my searching... I need a fuel pump that is E85 compatible and can be used for daily driving but still ramp up for 1000+ blown E85 horsepower, probably 3.5GPM minimum.

I don't want a screaming loud pump so I was thinking brushless, but I'm just not finding anything in that range. It seems like I can get a pump that will support 700HP or 1800HP, they skip right over anything in between.
 
Most those drag drive vehicles are using separate tanks and pumps
 
Turbo cars sure, but what about blower cars? Even if I put a big pulley on it I'll still be making 800hp.
 
dual pumps

Seems like you're doing a lot of drag racing with this - which the autos are more consistent. However, will the gear spacing on a 4l80 work ok?
 
Splits will be fine. Most of the drag and drive automatics are power glides with a great vendor, seconded by a th400 with a GV

It gets driven to lunch/dinner or to Lowe's way more frequently than it goes down a drag strip. Plus with the engine plans I have it will be capable of going faster than I want it to (for saftey/cage requirements) so having everything optimal for drag racing isn't necessary.
 
Who had that one posted? I watched Freiburger's video but the truck was just in the background of one of the shots.
 
We fast forwarded through that, must have missed it. We were pretty miserable by the time we got up to the judges, even though we were one of the first 20 or so vehicles in line, the way they pulled the cars in from the staging lanes meant we sat there for 2 hours in the 107°F heat. When I pulled up I just dumped the bags so they'd tell us we were bogus. I'm sure they were just as miserable as we were.

I made a decision on a fuel pump! One pump, brushless, rated for way more flow than I need. Fuel Labs Pump

Never heard of that company but by the specs it sounds amazing, the programming required to run that will be interesting and intriguing.
 
Nah, they’re pretty good. You need to get a mitt today kid
In english? I know they've been around for a while and I couldn't find too many negative reviews, plus they have a lifetime warranty, which is crazy for a fuel pump. $1500 is a lot easier to swallow than the rest of the pumps I was looking at, especially when I plan on having a spare.
