Bryan,
What do you mean by "SU fuel pumps are high pressure"? I don't recall DV
using the term 'high pressure' for SU's. 1 1/2 to 3 lbs.
There are hp fuel pumps that put out over 15 psi ... and they look like low
pressure pumps physically. That's what I was referring to as having been put
on your car. Again, only testing will tell.
