most pumps operate at 9-14 psi, If you are looking for an awesome pump, I use weldon fuel pumps. best out there imo, expensive but well worth it. easttennmotors.com

Most of the mechanical pumps listed on Summit are in the 6-8 psi range. Anything above that and you're going to have to add a regulator. Blower or not, I can't imagine your Holley carb wants to see any different pressures than the 5 to 7-1/2 psi specified in the manual.

I've never added a supercharger and admittedly know very little about them, but I do know that Holley sells carbs designed for use with roots style superchargers.

You really need to know the fuel flow of the pump, not necessarily the pressure. The Holley carb will only handle 5-7 psi itself, and will handle quite a bit of flow.

Read this.
