I said it before.... its all part of a package. All things have to work together. Figure out exactly what you want, then get the parts to match.

on a stock engine the carb and exhaust are there to limit your engine power and rpm, higher revs will kill the crank and case (stock)....

You will want an electric fuel pump for the two IDF's. I have had a series of Facets, some great some not so great, all 4-7psi. Some died very young, one other is burnt to hell but still works, even without insulation on the wires, go figure.

But I have ended up with Huco pumps in my cars. No further problems.

I must admit I have not investigated why the Facet pumps failed. It is on my considerably long "to do" list. It's strange because Facet is a good name... :?:

You can, but it won't make much difference, if any.
