OK I'm gonna ask the stupid question.... looking at the motor listed in your signature I'm going to suspect you don't go to the track very often,, and don't race in any series (heads-up, bracket or whatever) but maybe I'm missing something? And,,, if that's right, a high output mechanical / stock pump is pretty reliable and fuels 400HP quite easily. If you just 'must' have an electric,, I run Mallory pumps, ran a little 140 on the truck for 11 years now with a deadhead regulator, and used another 140 for a 225HP plate nitrous kit long ago. They are reliable and reasonable,, as is the low end Holleys.

Right now I'm feeding 800HP gas motor with a Mallory 250 alcohol pump and data logging shows it's working just fine..
If I were to replace it,, (like nxtruck and others said,, Mallory is working perfectly so I don't know why I'd change) but oif I did,, Aeromotive or Magnafuel are both VERY fine systems and will feed 1000HP without breaking a sweat.

When you're dead, it's only a problem for the people around you, because you don't know you're dead. .....It's kinda the same when your STUPID. I just did my taxes and reviewed my SS statement. Thanks to the current administration it looks like I will only have to work till noon on the day of my funeral.
