Although it sounded promising when the pump was run dry, the enourmous whining and grinding came back as soon as fuel was poured into the tenk once more....
The pump is a Summit 130 gph "racing" unit.
And to be honest, it makes alot of noice. - OK; no sound of it as soon as the throttle is "halfway there and beyond"- but a pain in the ass when in traffic. (Anyone else has the same experience?)
Any reasonably priced less noisy pumps you'd like to suggest?
( The engine sports 4 x IDF's and I use an Aeromotive adjustable regulator with a 1/2" return line, 3/8" supply.)
Happy Springtime

Two solutions for you:
1) Checkout the Weldon 600-A. This is a very reliable and quiet pump. I've been using one on my Street Vette (blown and injected for several years now)
2) You can use an Aeromotive Inline Pump (Summit AEI-11101) and a fuel pump controller. The controller will slow down/quiet down the pump below 2500 RPM which also extends its life
Both of these pumps will require a regulator and a return line and both should be good for 600+hp.
