Yeah I do, but not sure what's so "bad" about walbros. If I had my way, I'd have two intank walbros... I've got a plastic tanked '02 though.

Aeromotive makes quality pumps, but the flow of the A1000 starts dropping quick at higher pressures which is a reason some go with multiple walbros.
If you have properly sized injectors, and install the pump according to the instructions, you will not have any trouble with the A1000.

How do you plan on installing the pump? Internal or external? Sumped tank or pickup tube? Large volume pumps are not plug and play on factory lines or tanks but walbro's are. That is why most people use walbro's because they are cheaper and easier to install but will not support the HP of a single large volume pump.

A1000 - 122gph @ 60psi 13.5V
Twin 255lph - 116pgh @ 60psi 13.5

I have used the A1000 on a few cars with good luck . I have used the a A1200 on a car once ( not sure if they still make that one) had good luck with it as well. A pump controller needs to be used with any thing bigger than the A1000 in my opinion . I use only Weldon and i have had many miles with the 2035 race only pump just use the controller . and try to mount where it can get air and away from exhaust. Just info that you may want to keep in mind in the summer and know you are going to be running a big mama jama pump in heavy stop and go trafic keep the tank full ,give the pump plenty of cool fuel to help it .
