I found this on the Speedtalk engine forum. Lies and misinformation from guys who should know better

The first few decent passes I got with my 56 it shut down in second gear like a switch had been turned off. I'm running the same fuel pump as the 427 hipo but even with the supercharger referenced to it it wouldn't keep up. I added an inline electric pump at the tank and a switch on the dash to turn it on. The only time I need it is if I make a hard pull from 1st through 2d gear. With the pump on no problem. So I know what you mean about empty bowls. Chuck

I am only too familiar with the fuel supply problems with the Y-Block. When I first put the E carb setup on my '57 Bird back in '66, it just ran out of gas at the end of second gear. Added a cheap electric pump near the gas tank and never had a problem since until the pump died. Think I have a holley on it now and still runing through the stock pump.
