[Tigers] Carburetor input

[Terry Lawell]

Thanks for the inputs. The volume on this pump is 38 gal/hr and I think 
the standard su is about 28gal/hr, so that should not be a problem. I 
will probably install a good regulator and set the psi to about 5psi.

The stock SU idles at 3.5 psi and the aftermarket at 4.2 psi. While I really can not notice any performance change I only use the aftermarket for troubles or autocrossing. The issue is not the carb but the float valve. My research indicated that most float valves are good for 7 psi.
