Some guys say they can run Eddy carbs without regulators and some say they need to run them, both are right, it just depends on your fuel pump. Same goes for Holleys,Demons Q-jets,etc... There are several mechanical pumps out there that really push the 7 psi mark and some that are only around 4-5 psi. The same can be said about electrical versions as well. It just depends on the pump it self. Both Holley and Edlebrock have their fuel pressure specs on their websites (I think) I have plumbed alot of fuel systems in my life and its surprising how much some of the companies differ. Believe me, all fuel pumps and regulators are not built to the same quality.
