I run 7lbs on a electric fuel pump with an aeroquip bypass regulator. It runs 7 pounds all day long no matter what load and never moves the needle.

I have -8 an lines to the carb and a -10 supply and bypass line, easy set up and works great. I even run the fuel line thru the oil cooler ports that was supposed to be used for power steering cooling use.

I run blower motors with electric pumps feeding my Merc mechanical pumps. Run 6-8 psi depending on throttle.
