I'm not seeing any numbers? Graph of fuel pressure during a dyno run would be nice -- is this all just speculation? What charts?

46.7 lbs for a fuel pump -- uuuuuh, that can't be right??

It tells me Lotus are stupid $60K+ S car and Lotus want to save $5 on a less capable fuel pump??? A pint of beer right?

So you're saying the 2.5" on a stock fuel pump with 550's is guaranteed to run out of fuel? The very same Kit FF sell

I might just agree with you there.

So if I get this right, I can just drop in a Walbro 255 and good to go? No adapters?

Thanks phil, I'm not see any hard data on FP, would also be interested in the HOT wire Fuel pump FP numbers too (see if there is any difference). BTW, I did go back to running the stock battery and put my Braile aside for now.

What can I say, I'm a data guy, like to see real charts and numbers
