Default What pumps are you guys using for methanol?

I have an 87 Grand National that I'm looking to run on meth, but I've having trouble finding a pump that will flow enough, and work on the street (at least more than 20 minutes).

We calculated our fuel needs @ 80psi to be 200gph, or 1200 lb/hr as a minimum.

I figured you guys make gobs of horsepower, so it would be worth my time to ask you fine v8 gentlemen what you use for your methanol pumps.

Right now I'm stuck between 2 fuel lab 41402 pumps, or a belt driven pump.

Pros to the FL pump:
-easier install
-cheaper
-less time involved

Pros to belt driven pump:
-will flow more than enough fuel
-don't have to worry about 1 pump shorting out and going lean


The FL pumps will flow what I need and run on the street, but there is always the chance one could take a crap. Then again, so could something with the belt driven pump (plus, no one really makes a bracket setup for our cars anyway). So I either risk having 1 pump fail, or spend a ton of time making a belt driven pump work.

The thing that gets me is that although its true 1 of the FL pumps could go and I'd blow the engine, so could a million other things go wrong and the engine would blow.

So, I kindly ask your assistance in this endeavor, and I ask what you guys use to fuel your E85/methanol fuel systems?
