It seems when the fan is running, the pump loses power because of the fan.
Also, the pump gets much quieter when the fan is ON.
Well, There's your problem! 30 seconds to flow 1 gallon of fuel??? We're talking less than a quarter of that, ya know, ELEVEN! I can fill up a 5 gallon fuel can in that amount of time. Sure, I don't actually BURN that much, but if the motor wants it, IT'S THERE. With me bro? We figured out that my car would literally burn 1 gallon of fuel per pass. I was running 11.0's at the time. It takes you 30 seconds to flow 1 gallon?

BRAKE SPECIFIC FUEL CONSUMPTION. Learn it, live it, know it, love it!

And then to drop down to 40 seconds with the fan running, that just sux bro. How exactly do you have this Holley Blue wired? Relay???? Yes, you have a relay, RIGHT????
