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, that's worse than the Sprint car! I can't wait to tell the boss that his 2 gallons to the mile isn't so bad afterall!

Take care,

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?
