I have to disagree with that one. I've been involved in
the hot rod car scene on and off since my high school days. Specs sell and
companies like Holley know it. Bigger is always better. I wish I could get back
all of the money I spent over the years on the latest trick part
advertised/hyped in Hot Rod Magazine. A tiny fraction of the people that they
market to could actually use that fuel flow. But of course the guys that need
that are probably spending an order of magnitude more money for a REALLY COOL
Barry Grant fuel pump not the cheap Holley red pump.

In Short, yes they can burn that much.

I want to know why electric fuel pumps for
race cars have capacities ranges of 71 - 90 gallons per hr at pressure?
they don't burn anywhere near that, do they? when looking at pumps,
those capacities seemed pretty common. why? weight is a
consideration in race cars as well as airplanes, right? the Holley red
pump, 71 gal/hr @ 3 psi weighs 3 lbs and is huge. my renesis could never
use half that capacity, right?
