I'm sure the guestimated HP is a stretch, but I'll bet it's still a hoot to
drive.

Here's where I have a question.  Is there any benefit to this setup?  Or
perhaps a typo, or misunderstanding?

Glynn and I plumbed my Spider with dual fuel pumps, but they're in parallel,
the purpose being redundancy.  I can't imagine that there's any fuel
delivery benefit in having one fuel pump per carb, especially in a system
that only requires 3-5 psi.

Perhaps the owner misunderstood the plumbing?  Or is there some real benefit
here that I'm not aware of?
