Not that I need one...but do those pumps atleast come with plumbing and hardware?

I doubt there is hardly anyone here, if anyone at all, that has much use for one of these.

If you cannot figure out the hardware process, they are definitely not for you
They are for hard core race cars only.

Yeah...thanks for that confidence boost...NOT!

I was simply putting a question on the table that others might be concerned with, not starting a debate on who can and cannot route and plumb lines for the waterpump.

Without any control on this pump, it could put out 250 lbs of pressure thru a large diameter line. Since you need twice as much alcohol as gas to operate an engine, it makes that possible.

I'm just about laughing hysterically at myself for reading "waterman fuel pump" and waterpump.

seems like that would increase the change of the timging belt slipping. Big cams, high tension valve springs, and high RPMs, then throw on a fuel pump on top of that? Wonder how much drag that adds.

These pumps are for alcohol drag race cars. If you use gas, electric is easier
