-10/-8 will work fine. I'm actually running both the 4701 and the 4703 on my e85 setup. Smaller pump kicks on in boost only. They're quiet compared to other brand pumps of similar capacity.

I have a similar setup and am in the process of building my fuel system. I have called around to some of the fuel pump suppliers (aeromotive, magnafuel etc.) and they all have pumps that will support that type of volume but not for sustained amounts of time. I don't know about you but I plan on driving mine on the street for local cruises or car shows and wanted something that would support that. E-85 is the main factor and because of the large amount of volume needed I think mechanical would be the best route. The larger electric pumps are only ment for 30 minute intervals at those horsepower levels.

Great! I was thinking of going belt drive pump, it just doesnt look easy to mount up!

Is anyone successfully running a 4301 on the street without heating issues? I'm sure I'll end up with one but I don't want to deal with the cavitation b.s. and overheating that goes with this setup on the street. Would a pump controller be the ticket or would I have to have a fuel cooler as well? Sorry to highjack.
