[quote="123abc"]another note to remember put back seats before commenting on how loud the pump is , i got told today to mount the pump with an old shockie rubber between it and the plate i also will put some acoustic shield inside the rear seats see how that goes[/quote]

I bought a couple of rubber mounts from an air conditioning supplier, a couple of inches thick to isolate my Holley blue fuel pump.

It’s taken about 70% of the vibration noise away.

Have a look online and see what’s available.

Cheers

Insertion rubber. Basically flat rubber matting of various thickness. Google it and you'll find lots of places sell it; Bunnings, Clarke rubber

Spectra also do a in-tank pump using the sender, but think the pump would need to be swapped out for EFI:

rubber mounted the pump bracket and sound proofed the seats has work well ,not as noisy now .
have put a 100 miles on it and it seem to be learning well still a little weird of the mark út improving all the time .
seem to b e a little more fuel efficiant with more power as well
it is a little noisy under load injectors mostly but an impresive peice of upgrade for a kit
imo it was worth the money so far but time will tell
over all the super was a good choice

The injectors should not be any more noisy no matter what load. They just open for longer.

Injectors make a ticking sound. It's probably just airflow through the throttle body you are hearing.

does sound like an air type noise i think maybe when throttle is open 1/3 to 1/2 it maybe air going past the plate either way its awsome to drive and did some more ks and it just keeps getting better will update as i go but definitly upgrading pump to in tank the aeroflow one is too noisy from outside

Does it control your ignition or only fuel?

Put it on YouTube and link it here.

Interesting that you are saying the power is up a lot with no changes to ignition. Your carb tune must have been a fair bit out.

i had only just put a larger carb on the new engine i built i didnt do any real test and tune as i decided to go efi by the time i had done some dyno runs and so forth cost wise it made sense and with the ac idle up, cold start fan control im better off at least if i decide to better heads bigger cam coz the base engine platform is already there in the bottom end ,balancing and so forth i dont need to do anything really fuel wise
