Holley makes a few different kinds, sorted by color. Different colors are capable of delivering different amounts of fuel. I have a 'red' one for my car, but I am still in the process of building, so I can't give an opinion yet.
Holley's website or jegs or summit have info on these pumps. Also, if you have a cleveland be prepared to make your own blockoff plate for that old mechanical pump.

WOW..how big is your fuel tank? Lets say 20 gallons...this means that you have to refill the tank every 5 miles. I don't think they even build gas stations that close together. I would suspect you mean 4 miles per gallon (and that would be a disaster), but even then you would have to refill the tank every 80 miles. How did you determine your numbers?

I dont feel so bad now! I thought 10mpg was bad. Is that 4 gallons when you're running the bottle, because you need the extra fuel to balance the N2O?
