How much horsepower will a Holley Blue fuel pump support?

550 hp
They are rotor/vane-style pumps designed to flow high volumes of fuel at low pressures, perfect for low- to high-horsepower carbureted applications. The Holley Red pump flows 97 gph and supports 425 hp, while the Blue pump flows 110 gph and supports 550 hp.

What makes a fuel pump E85 compatible?

As for increased fuel supply demands, E85 will require the fuel system to supply 35- percent more fuel for a given horsepower level. That means the pump(s), lines, regulator, injectors and return must all support 35- percent more volume at the same pressure as before.

Does a Holley Blue fuel pump need a return line?

The “blue” pump, P/N12-802-1, is rated at 110 GPH and it is designed for street/strip applications. These feature a gerotor pump design which is extremely efficient and quiet. Fuel pressure is pre-set at 15 PSI and both a pressure regulator and 3/8″ return line to the tank are required.

How much fuel pressure does a Holley blue pump put out?

Distinctive “Blue” logo. Flows 110 GPH (free flow) Flows 88 GPH at 9 psi. maximum pressure is 14 psi….Features:

What kind of fuel pump do you need for E85?

Your pump needs to pump about 25% more fuel and work with E85. We are using Holley mechanical and electric pumps without problems. Good fuel filter with stainless steel mesh element is always a must and braided fuel line is good for looks and safety.

What’s the compression ratio on a Holley E85?

“Switching to E85 in and of itself doesn’t always increase horsepower, but it will increase torque. Even bigger gains are possible by increasing the compression ratio to take advantage of E85’s higher octane rating. You can safely run as high as 14.0:1 compression with E85.”

Which is better for drag racing, methanol or E85?

Although the richer stoichiometric air/fuel mixture of E85 does require moving a greater volume of fuel than gasoline, unless your current fuel pump is already near the limit, it can probably handle the extra fuel flow. “Methanol requires two and a half times the fuel volume as gasoline, but E85 required just 30-percent more flow,” Benoit explains.
