Jegs has what you need,give 'em a call @ 1-800-345-4545 and let them know what you are trying to accomplish and they will help you select the proper parts. The guys at Jegs race with the parts that they sell so they have excellent technical service.

Skeeter55 Apr 8th, 09, 05:44 PM 4-port offers high volume, excellent flow & consistent pressure settings ideal for single high-HP gas 4-bbl, tunnel rams, or multi-carbs...

Lonnie P Apr 8th, 09, 06:33 PM Weldon (top of the line quality)
or Magnafuel (excellent reliabiliy for the price)
68rs406 Apr 8th, 09, 06:57 PM Magnafuel is the best there is IMO for race and hi perf stuff. BG pumps have a pretty sketchy track record.
fatblock Apr 8th, 09, 07:10 PM I can only share what i use.BG 4 port regulator and bg400gph pump with bypass to the fuel cell.
Many say,you can not run this on the street.I beg to differ.
I feed 4 float bowls and the fuel pressure gauge is a constant 7psi.
javier.rs Apr 8th, 09, 07:32 PM ok thanks for all for the answers,very helpfull !!
one more,very important to me is to know the parts numbers of the pumps and regulators,if is possible of course.........
thanks for all for the time on search !!

ok Skip.......i see this link.......so what about the fuel pump to use with this regulator ?
68rs406 Apr 9th, 09, 09:02 AM Here's Magnafuel's (http://www.magnafuel.com/products/carb/kits/kits.htm) site, they list kits and specs of the package.
Pretty pricey but nice, we use one on the race car feeding 1800+ horse with nitrous flawlessly (so far, hopefully I didn't jinx myself...;) ) This is the second one we've personally used with good results. There are other pumps out there that will work fine, but Magnafuel seems to be a great pump and regulator overall.

68rs406 Apr 9th, 09, 11:27 AM I don't think you would want the same one we use...;)
Check this one out, it's a kit with the pump and regulator, up to 950 horse. You may or may not need all thats included but it gives you an idea. And actually you will likely need a different regulator for dual carbs anyway.
Here's the link (http://www.magnafuel.com/products/kits/MP-4817.htm)

You may be better off buying the pump and parts you need separate for your application.
They are pricey but any quality pump is going to be. Hope that helps!
Greg O Apr 9th, 09, 03:20 PM The Aeromotive A1000 seems to be the hot setup with boosted crowd. I'm still mechanical myself so don't have 1st hand experience....

I would go with the 500 gph version of this setup.
Your info is a little sketchy, but I assume if you need two 1050 Dominators, you need a fuel pump that will support over 1000 HP.

Street only Javier.I do not drag race.I missed the fact that you are full on race possibly requiring more pump than my bg400gph unit.
