It most likely is internally regulated to 7-8psi.

i assume you mean 2 outlets and 1 inlet on the old pump? the old pump is mechanical?

the small outlet is a return line, and the pump is regulated. You just have to cap the return line. You may run into vapor lock issues if you do this though. Might want to think about keeping a return style fuel system.

unless the 355 is making a lot of power, the stock pump will be plenty.

Buy the Carter. Has both inlets and IMO is a better pump. Forgot to list it in my sig.

BTW The Holly has fitment problems.
