i was pondering a thought on my:wave:. i read on line about pumps the atx had a 65lph pump. the one i bought was stock i am pretty sure. thinking they burned out dew to not being able to keep up with the engine. mine has a cold air intake with 80mm maf. have a modified comp. and a cam swap. too much hp for a stock pump. my walbro kept up great with my old sho producing around 300hp. what do you all think?

The pump may be weak but the mods are not much. Why do you say the pump is bad?

I did replace my fuel pump as it went out. Then it didn't start due to a short in the system. Got that fixed only to have it die again due to the inirtia relay going out.

Are you sure you don't have any wiring issues? Give direct power to the pump via the 2 pins closest to the passenger side, can't remember which is positive though. It will run either way but the correct way will put a load on it and you'll here it bog down a little.
