Re: Fuel pump comparisons
Huh... I'm not sure that I believe it. Primarily:
- there's a bunch of info missing like what voltage they were tested at
- I've run across a few other tests of the new aeromotive pump online and in those it didn't look any better than a standard 255lph walbro, and the thing looks a lot like a painted walbro
- I wouldn't really agree with some of the "facts" stated in the marketing end of that page, which makes me wary of the rest.
I'd like to believe it since if it is true, that pretty much means that there is an easy $160 solution to powering 99% of the "high powered" power adder cars on a forum like ours, rather than tinkering with dual intank pumps which frankly is a PITA on 3rd gens.

Re: Fuel pump comparisons
Any links to their comments? like I said, it would be really nice if it really worked but I have my doubts...

Re: Fuel pump comparisons
Would that 340lph pump fit in a thirdgen intank assembly?
With a 4th gen tank, I really didnt have any problems with my dual walbro setup, although expensive since i didnt build it myself, but it works just fine.
