Bump, what about that Holley black, think it might be an issue. I haven't known anyone to have much luck with them. I thought they were fer gas.

you can adjust pressure on the black. you got the plug on the side of the pump. pull it off and there is a spring behind it. stretch that spring put it all back together and check your pressure.

Unless you're running a pair in tandem, I wouldn't trust those Holley or similar knockoff types for anything more than a backup.

This is my opinion - I used a FASS 150 on another truck worked well. Original Airdog should be a little better - he owns the patent on 2 air removers - the FASS has one. Plus the Airdog 2 has regulated fuel return - I want a lot of fuel to the pump as it cools and lubricates the pump and the more times your fuel goes through the filters - the better polished it will be. Plus the Original airdogs are at a steal price right now below $500!

you need at least 43 to run it on properly,normally they run around 45-50 pounds,but if you got 43 it will run right,good luck.
