high pressure fuel pumps - recommendations?

[Martin Easterbrook]

We designed them in-house for Formula One use (they're used on the McLaren, 
Prost, TWR and Jordan).  They're made by Keihin Seiki in Japan - best known 
for carburettors.  F1 customers are easy because they all 
design/manufacture their own mechanical pumps but some teams in other 
categories with less money (eg World Rally Car,  FIA GT) want to use these 
injectors too.
