Default Opinions on water pump for a custom a2w setup

I am currently in the process of upgrading my vortech system to a YSI head unit and a custom front mount a2w intercooler with a 5 gallon tank in the hatch. What I am wondering is what GPH pump should be used? I know the stock vortech ones are in the low hundreds, and the chiseled performance ones are in the 1500-2000 range. I purchased a rule 360gph pump but am now having second thoughts. Some input on what has worked or even a comparison if someone has started small and upgraded to know if a higher flowing pump will lower iat's and by how much. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Matt.

we make a 100% complete bolt-on A2W water system for F bodies. You can choose your pump as well. I would recommend using a RULE 2000 or bigger depending on your needs. Call for more info.

These sound like nice setups but how many GPH are your pumps rated at? That is what im trying to figure out. Thanks.

I have a 03-04 Cobra pump which flows 317 GPH, it is dead quiet. The Meziere flow 3+ times more but may be a little noisy.

I think youre fine with your current pump...but if youre looking to upgrade the rule 2000 is a very nice pump, alot of high hp/tq guys are running them. Try yours out for a while and if you dont like it, like I said, the rule 2000 would be the choice unit imo.

I have seen your posts and am glad you seen this. Since you have about the same setup as I have what do you iat's end up running? Also jw how much boost do you see to get the 772?

Mines 7gpm. Not only that but the pump is completely rebuildable and is rated for continuous use where most other pumps aren't. The bosch cobra pump is another good pump

My car made the 772 at 16 lbs. My IAT's on a 1/4 pass do hit 170 which is high, that is after doing a complete ice down prior. I'm not sure if a higher flowing pump like the Meziere would help or the Vortech aftercooler is simply overwhelmed I'm leaning toward the latter.
