Chris -It turns out that Dave and Neil were right-my return line was too
restrictive and was not flowing enough of the gas back to the tank.
Thanks guys for the input . I can't remember the model number but it is
a big one, that was provided with the supercharger kit from the
supercharger store. I think it is a good unit-my work was substandard-my
lines were too small for the pump-think big!

Scott,
What model # is the Aeromotive pump.
My son Lincoln who drives our roadster is building a street hiboy 32
roadster with 2x4's on 6-71 etc and has an Aeromotive pump and
certainly
doesn't want that problem.
