Do folks have a recommendation for which specific Facet fuel pump to use when switching from a mechanical pump to an electric pump?

Even if my target fuel pressure is 2.75-3psi, Is it better to get a pump delivering 4-5.5psi and regulate this down to mytarget pressure, or rely upon the output of Facet's "Black top" pump which delivers 2.75-4psi and then regulate this down to my target pressure?

I'm using 40 DCOE 28s with a 2.0 N&S and are now fitted with profiled 32mm venturis. The engine is a modified 2 litre Nord running RJ's cams. (Carb internals spec: MJ 130, AC 180, E tube F16, Idle Jet 50F8).

How much fuel flow (discrete from pressure) should I be aiming for to ensure my float bowls remain full at high revs? I noticed that the Black top flows 34 gallons per hour, whilst the pumps delivering more pressure are also able to flow more volume (e.g. Red Top: pressure 6.5-8psi, volume up to 45 gph)

Thanks in advance

Fuel flow is nothing you have to think about with these engines. At wide open throttle how much fuel are you going to use.....

Thanks Richard - that's the fuel flow question answered.

Is it better practice to have the FPR regulate pressure down from a higher pressure to the target fuel pressure or to source a pump which will supply fuel more in line with the target pressure?

Problem solved. Facet Electric Fuel Pump - Which One?

Looks like 4-5.5psi is the correct choice (based upon the reply from Facet)

You should use a pressure regulator with any fuel pump that is feeding Webers. You cannot go wrong with a Filter King. Get one with a gauge and set it to 3 psi.
