[urq] Better fuel pump needed

[Cody Forbes]

...my 10v MC engine has been dyno'd over 400hp at the wheels, and Ben has a 
simmilar if not better setup then I do, albeit he doesn't intend on going as 
crazy with pushing it to the edge as I have. Granted you aren't going to 
believe me, few do, but Ben has seen my car run just after I pulled 386hp 
(wheels) and I'm sure he'd vouch at least for that.

Ben get the 044 pump, it rocks. I've got the in-tank version of it, the 040, 
which is the same except cased for an in-tank application. Flows my car 
fine, holds pressure great - 70+psi of fuel pressure at full boost! I don't 
know of a good source, I googled for a while and found a bunch as I'm sure 
you have. Javad does carry them last I checked, but not the cheapest.
