Will changing from the Holley 110 GPH mechanical fuel pump to the Holley blue 110 gph electric fuel pump make any horsepower difference on my 351w? Since my car is capable of running mid to high 11's will my current mechanical pump be able to provide sufficient fuel to run 11's?
please let me know thanks.

Unless you are currently in a fuel starvation situation the HP increase should be measureable only by a very accurate dyno. I can't think it take a bunch to drive a fuel pump.

Yep,

Run whichever one you want. The electrics will be annoying on the street.
