    Aeromotive,Magnafuel 255 and 044 fuel pumps

    I have used a few Aeromotive A1000pumps on 10sec Carb rides... Tried to run one on a twin turbo efi 408 with 65lb/hr .. First pass 10.2 look @ the Fast system ..dead lean from the Hit didnt Burn up but IDC was 128% C16 Race Gas... Installed a Weldon 850.00 pump Nothing else changed it went 9.15@1000 feet and Blew apart... People up North HATE Aeromotive Parts... I am in no way being Bias but they Hate the Stuff.. I have only been around two Magnafuel 500+ pumps and they held up for 6-7 years on Racecars without Any problems... I see in the end they are all around the same price and Money .....

    What are your Thoughts on the High pressure pumps out there.. I have only run the A1000 on street cars... Everything else were in race setups... I drive my truck alot... Not looking to have major problems.. and would like to keep it simple... I have seen few guys with 2 or 3 255lph pumps.... Not really what i am after

    hope u have better luck with walboro than me ,i went through 2 in 2 weeks.

    on my "mission critical" EFI apps I would never use an aeromotive. some of the most unreliable POS pumps I have ever used.

    for me its Weldon, Walbro, Bosch, or nothing.
