[Tigers] Holley PSI

[genepadgett at comcast.net]

Just a reminder to put some sort of heat shielding between the pump and muffler if you do not already have some. The carter and most other pumps will hang down much closer to the muffler than the SU and suffer shortened life due to the high heat soak without some sort of shielding. Good idea to do that even with a SU installed. 
Tim Ronak did a very nice article on all of this in the CAT Tiger Tales a few years ago.

Thanks! According to Carter, it's 30 gph. 

But, I'm going to have to try Tom's Conejo Grade test - at least a few 
times, just to make sure. :-)
