when we bought this 1964 Chevelle
we already knew it was gonna get modified with lots of performance parts
that's what we do we build custom cars and to build a custom car you need to
get custom parts
we got wheels and tires we got the suspension dialed in
and we got over 600 horsepower out of this 427 LS
with all the upgrades we did we didn't want to overlook the fuel system
and that's when we turn to Holley for their new line of Billet fuel system
components
turning it up a notch holly has introduced their new billet series fuel
pumps pressure regulators
and inline fuel filters these aren't cast aluminum
they're made from 6061 t-6 billet aluminum for both strength and
durability
and their e85 in diesel compatible for alternate fuel use
ollie's new carburetor and fuel injection friendly in line Billet fuel
pumps are no slouches when it comes to efficiency or volume
and for you drag racers these 12 volt pumps can be used with 18.5 volt systems
while out on the track
the HP series pumps like the one we used for our blueprint Chevelle
will support engines up to 1,000 horsepower that's plenty for this
application
while there Dominator series pumps will support up to an astonishing 2100
horsepower
but there's one significant difference that these pumps have over typical electric
fuel pumps
here's a typical fuel pump
and here's Holley's
can you hear that their quiet the Dominator series features a patent-pending dual
pump design
this allows you to use one pump for cruising or for staging
when your engine needs additional fuel you can activate the second pump manually
or electronically dual stage pump technology helps keep your fuel system
cooler
for high horsepower applications where fuel supplies critical
both pumps can be activated full-time
the billet fuel pressure regulator was designed to work with Holley's billet
fuel pumps
and can be used with almost any other pumps on the market the HP series
regulator is designed for their single fuel pump like we have on blueprint while
high horsepower engines utilizing holly's Dominator dual pumps
require the Dominator regulator the regulators are adjustable up to 9 PSI
for carbureted applications
and from 40 to 70 PSI for EFI applications
for a non-bypass system without a fuel return line
the low pressure HP regulators will work just fine otherwise just use the
additional port for the return line like we did on our Chevelle
there's also a gauge port on the front of the regulator to make those
adjustments a little easier to do
to complement the new billet fuel pumps and regulators Holley's new billet
inline fuel filters handle
everything from street rods to full on race cars with flow rates ranging from
150 to 260 gallons per hour
available in three levels of filtration these Billet filters mount before or
after the pump to keep a fuel lines clean
Holley recommends using a 40 micron filter after the part for carburetors
10 micron filter after the pump for UEFI
while a 100 micron filter is recommended for all pre fuel pump applications
the 10 micron filter uses depth media filtration
and it's the first to use this type of protection it'll trap and hold more
contamination than a typical flat paper style filter media
the 40 and 100 micron filters are stainless steel mesh
and can be cleaned for reuse Holley's new line of 6061 t-6 billet fuel pumps
pressure regulators and in my fuel filters
are just what we needed to get blueprint on the road and they helped us do it
without waking the neighbors
well at least not until we fired it up
