Default What pumps are you E85 guys running?

I have a LQ4 that I am going to run a S88 Turbo on in my 67 Chevelle, I need advice on QUIET fuel pumps that will last on E85.

I just returned a 4303 to Summit after reading about how loud they are.

I am leaning toward dual pumps mounted in my fuel cell,

What pumps would be the quietest and handle the E 85 on the street the best?

I am looking for somewhere around 800 rwhp, but I will probably turn it up when I get there.

Twin walbro 450s in my tank, sounds stock. Though some people have reported them being loud and noticeable.

Right here. I totally agree.

I use a walbro 255 and an aeromotive eliminator, works great but I had to buy more filters/fittings/ and a $75 check valve so pressure wouldn't back feed through the eliminator.

Wish the holley pump was available at the time I was putting mine together. I would have bought it instead. A friend uses the holley 1800 and its quiet and compact

I run 3 internal walbro 255's in my ltd, you can't hear them at all outside the car. The bosch 044's on my mustang you can definitely hear, nothing like a 4303 though.

They are quiet in my opinion. Running a 60PSI base, I'm dropping pressure bad at around 1k wheel HP. (bad is 1-1 reference and pressure is down to 65 at 22psi boost and small 50 nitrous pulling off the top)

Yes holley all the way, its extremely quite, small package, and cheap compared to runnning individual pumps.
