At 5lbs of boost you are only going to have 4lbs of fuel pressure

When using a mechanical pump, it can be boost referenced (increase fuel psi 1psi per 1psi boost) by connecting pump’s vent nipple to boost source ie: the box.
Now, if volume is enough from the pump, that’s another area to figure out/find out. |

Some peep’s run your system. Just ran into this post:
https://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/...ml#post4835392 I’d check to see what carb # and how it is jetted/tuned/fuel pump used etc/etc. Always good to ask those who have done the same you are going to embark on. |

I have a complete spare box if you need one. Best carb for that app would be a holley 750. Fuel pump needs to be able to make 6 lbs at idle and 11 lbs when full throttle if making. 5 lbs boost..
