Pardon the stupid question but what exactly happens when you don't have enough pump for a set up? How does the car act?

I think that's what is happening to me. Time to move up to a new pump.

That's funny that you say that, because the place that tuned my car really like those pumps. They said they prefer them over walbro's, cause they just work better or something like that
