Default Which electric fuel pump for 1000hp?

Currently running a Mallory 140 comp and the mechanical pump. I would like to flow more fuel with retrun line. Dyno test showed we were flowing 630 lbs of fuel an hour. Keeping the mechanical pump and adding which electric pump?

There are many out there that would do the job.

Weldon
Barry Grant

Are top on the list.

I also use a Mallory 140 for my little 540

I have spoke to a tech at Barry Grant and the big pumps they sell are designed for 10 minutes of operating time (as in drag race cars). I have also heard stories of the various brands of pumps frying and trying to find the reliable pumps for the volume. Who is using what?

I didn't now that about the BG's
It's a good thing I didn't spend the money for one of those !

A friends 43 Scarab has triple 1000's in it and they use Weldon pumps. I don't know too much about them , I'm sure you could find something out on the web though.

That Aeromotive pump sounds real sweet !

Brad-have you thought of using a belt driven mechanical pump? There is a circle track place up here that is sure to have them. Borchardt speed is the name. 414-282-2390

Aeromotive. They simply build the best fuel delivery products available on the market today. They also offer marine (CGA) products for high hp fuel injection.

If you can run a return line using a Belt Driven mechanical pump is your best choice.
