    Do yourself a favor and call Mike at RAGE Fuel Systems and buy one of his pumps. It will be hand built to fit your combo perfectly, not too big not too small. Why you would want to put a 300.00 dollar pump on a 20k plus motor is beyond me. The fuel pump along with the oil pump are the most important parts of your engine. His number is 843-623-3500. You may have to call a few times to get through to him.

    Fuel Pump

    I ran a Waterman Lil Bertha with a 750 gear on my SBC. 415 cu. in. 14/71 M5 DMPE Blower. I forget the flow numbers I have them in my log book at home. Worked well. If you are looking for a pump I still have it on the shelf at my garage. I sent it to Gerardoet and had it serviced last year. I had to set out this past season and I am going to change combinations next year and will need a bigger pump.

    Buyer beware

    YOU MAY HAVE TO WAIT MONTHS FOR A CUSTOM HAND BUILT PUMP ,AND STILL NOT RECIEVE IT , I FOUND IT BETTER TO DEAL WITH ONE OF THE OLD SCHOOL CO"s

    First off 409racer if you are going to post negetive comments about someone use your real name. Second no one has to beware of Mike Kopchick at RAGE Fuel Systems unless you owe him money or badmouth his products for no reason. I don't know your deal so I won't comment on it. HOWEVER.... I'm 44 years old and have met alot of great people over the years and Mike ranks right up there with the best (including friends I made in the ARMY). I feel blessed to have met him and Shelia (his wife). He has gone out of his way to help me with my combination and the results speak for themselves ( no one has EVER gone as quick as we have in the 1/8 mile with a powerglide transmission, and my car is one of the fastest outlaw dragsters in the country). He is very busy around this time of year freshening pumps for Funny cars and Top fuel cars in the NHRA countdown. How good are his pumps.... all of John Forces cars, all of DSR cars, Wilkerson, Cruz, and Tasca to name a few use his pumps. Also dont forget all the Top fuel cars that are running his pump. And I'm not going to even mention Tractor pullers, TAFC, TAD, ProMod and Nitro-Harley. The racers on here need to know that Mike hand builds his pumps himself... he makes every part of his pumps himself except for the bearings,o-rings and bolts that hold the damn thing together on his own CNC machines. Enderle, Knisler etc. all make good fuel pumps. Waterman pumps win alot of races but RAGE pumps have a built in quality that CAN NOT BE MATCHED. Sometimes you just have to order somthing a while before you know you'll need it, his pumps are built to order. If anyone has any questions e-mail me your phone # at jodystroud@shtc.net

    Jim at Enderle has been great to work with on my various combos. He was one of the most helpful guys when I put my first blower on.
