Yes they are... Lets guess... I hope MT has the answers.. My guess : 1,2 & 5 are over .. 3 is about 750 ish 4 around 800 cause of pulley size and 6 is between 8 & 900

Cannot see it being anywhere nearly as high as the load the lifter/pushrod/rocker/valvespring/valve puts on the cam. Those pump springs are extremely light compared to a valve spring that has 500 ft lbs over the nose.

Good read.
A couple questions as I have yet to buy my pump:
Are you guys drilling and tapping the top of the pump for 1/8" pipe thread to vent it for uscg compliance?
Is the holley billet pump junk?
I'm assuming a regulator is needed for most of these mechanical pumps. Is that correct?
I was leaning toward a holley billet or a CV. The holley puts out 7.5psi so I thought that would be nice without the need for a regulator. I was going to buy the billet job and drill and tap the top.
Thanks,
Rob

As far as the Billet pumps from Holley, and the CV products pumps, I have never used them, therefore I cannot comment on them. I do not want to comment on a product I have no knowledge of or experience with.
N/A carbureted, is about the least demanding on a fuel pump setup you can get. Blown EFI, is on the other end of that spectrum.

Plus, 2 carbs (4 float bowls and 4 needle and seats) let's a pump able to supply more over time.

Thanks guys!
The Teague looks like a quality piece. Much cheaper than the CV and billet holley.
It says 7.5-9 psi.
Regulator or not?
I have a single 4150.
