which fuel pump to use for ~600 rwhp?

ok, i need to get a fuel pump soon for the GTA TT. which pump should i get? i am only going to run 1 pump (external). i have a sumped gas tank, -8 fuel lines up to the rail, 83 lb injectors, Accel DFI w/ variable injector controller, and will probably be making a conservative 600 rwhp. any suggestions? i was considering an SX pump. the Weldon will be overkill and out of the question (says my wallet). this is a street/strip car.

I would recommend the Aeromotive pump. It is reliable enough to use in a regularily driven street car and will support 1000 Hp at 45 psi line pressure. That's what I am using on my car. The price is decent too.

Aeromotive are made by the same people as the paxton pumps

i wouldn't use them personally. Spend the money *ONCE* on a Weldon and you wont ever need another pump PERIOD.

BUT, if you cant afford it...i'd look into the SX line

I bought an aeromotive but I got a hell of a deal on it and a bunch of other braided line and fittings.

I would have liked to have a weldon but for the price I couldnt turn down the deal I got. I have not had a problem at all. Although if you look on camaroz28.com some people have had them fail on them. That could be figured up to improper use but there are a lot of people using these pumps now.

I think I am only using about 50% of the pumps capacity right now.
