Electric fuel pump vs Mechanical

[Mrturner1]

Guys

I'm wondering about the differences and +\-'s of electric fuel pumps vs mechanical ones. My C10 has a mechanical, and I assume it works fine because my truck ran good before the recent tear down. I've had a few newer hot rods (trans am and mustang) and they had electric fuel pumps but they were fuel injected as well.

My current build is a 9 to 1 SBC, ProComp 170cc heads, Comp 280H cam, Edelbrock 650 AVS carb, Long tubes and flowmasters, HEI, and Edelbrock Performer RPM manifold.

Would I benefit from an electric fuel pump? The truck is driven on weekends when I feel the need to burn a little rubber, purely a for fun truck so wiring up switches or whatever I need is totally fine with me. Budget isn't an issue on this one, and I DO plan on moving the fuel tank out from behind the seat and relocating under the bed where spare tire goes. If I'm leaving out some info just ask

Thank you guys
Matt
