Default AEM 50-1000 (320) vs RACETRONIX 135-FPA-001 (255)

Curious if anyone has any personal experience with the AEM pump, been searching for a while now and not much anywhere about em. Can get the AEM at almost half the price of the RACETRONIX and specs show to flow a bit more so I'm on the fence yet. Which ever I get will be paired with a RACETRONIX Hotwire Kit. Can the AEM be used with stock lines?

The AEM pump does not support the jet-pump functionality of the factory module. This technology is covered in our web ad.

We will be offering a 340LPH pump as part of our RXP Turbine-Tech pumps within the next few weeks. All 300LPH+ pumps will require a FMFPR, -6 Teflon return line and upgraded FPWK-017 harness kit.

That depends on the max fuel pressure, voltage, motor BSFC and plumbing confiruration.
Average is 800-850FWHP.

Yes, filling the bucket is important since there is no baffling in the f-body tank.
The advantages of this function are listed in our web ad.

We are working on a kit based on our RXP 340LPH pumps which will support this function however it will require a front-mounted regulator and return line.

yeah I understand the advantages, but doesn't the return line fill the bucket as well?

That is a secondary function. The pump can not pump what is not in the bucket so the jet-pump and equalization valve are the primary sources of fuel. The return line only returns fuel which the motor has not used that was previously in the bucket. Under WOT there is much less return fuel so it is important to have the jet-pump and valves working properly.
