VL turbo, get em for $100 
i wired one to my wagon , (n/a 34/36 weber) and it was pumping so hard it shot fuel out the top of the carby about 1.5 foot. hehehe. a regulator would be a good investment

The standard pump should do well with factory regulation spring modified and running on full 12V.
A carter would be more than enough, about $140. If you use a pump with ouput of more than about 7psi (varies from carby to carby), then you will need a regulator.
Try the factory pump though, you will be surprised. I have two running in parallel, I think each one will support about 200-250hp from memory, stright from pump. Fuel lines will be a restriction though.

n/a VL fuel pump = camira fuel pump
camira fuel pump = about $30 from the wreckers. |
