I have 2 friends that have them on their trucks n all they did was cut a chunk out of the fuel line and adapt it to the correct fittings. Then you can wire it however you want. you can wire it into the stock LP or runn it off a switch in the cab.

Just picked up a Holly Blue on ebay for 90$ (with 10$ shipping). I'm still stock and don't have a lot of dough for mods yet (need a lot to do the tranny right) but this should do until I can afford the Fass.

I have run numerous different fuel pumps and after many hours of unnecessary labor(switching fuel pumps) I would recommend doing it right the first time, buy a quality pump it is worth the extra money. My experience has been that the cheaper pumps will fail at the worst possible time. The raptor has a life time warranty as well

When you install your holley you really shouldnt need the regulator but feel free to put it in if you want. i have heard of guys taking the pump apart and stretching the spring to give them more psi and they install the regulator that comes with the pump and then the fuel pressure won't drop near as much at WOT.

As DTR Member "smokin95" said, IMHO, there is nothing wrong with the Holley Fuel Pumps. I ran a Holley Red on my old 2002 Dodge CTD 24 valve for over two years with absolutely NO PROBLEMS whatsoever! I had bought mine at "Advanced Auto Parts" for $85.00 and from them they come with a one-year full replacement warranty. It held about 17-18 lbs @ idle and hardly ever got below 12-14 lbs even at WOT. For the money, I think they are a great alternative to the higher priced fuel pumps.

Your very welcome Sir!
I agree with your analysis. For the Members that can't afford to shell out alot of money for one of the bigger pumps, the Holley Pumps are a good alternative for no more than they cost.

I've been running my Holley blue as a pusher to my stock pump for around 3 years without issue. For the cost, it's been a good pump for me. I had lost two lift pumps prior to installing the Holley as pusher, so it's more than paid for itself.
