I decided to redo my sump to a single out, from a dual, do bigger feed & return lines, so went to the bigger pump. Going to be running it on E-85, I think the 1400 would have been "enough" but since I was redoing everything, I decided to go to the bigger pump.
8 second cars have them.

GRAY86HATCH has one, his car is 3000#, goes low 9s @ 143.
TurboBu-Crusty Nova… "158mph @ 3550# on 21# boost EFI E85 car has been 8.57@159 30 times and no matter what we've tried wont run 160. Run it through several calculators you'll come up with 1050-1100 Hp at flywheel. Much quieter than a1000 or Magnafuel. I've ran it dry twice causing 0 damage. Adding a second because I just can't see spending the money and the trouble to switch to a mechanical."

I have 4 very soft isolators bolted to the aft side of the rear bumper. Isolators cut down about 50% of the noise, but it's still VERY noticeable. Even with an open 4" downpipe.
I even unbolted the motor and let it hang by the SS lines. Still obnoxious.

Not wanting to argue, but I would think that the Crusty Nova makes more than 900 rwhp. I haven't heard of two 255s on e85 taking a 3500# car deep in to the 8s.
It is likely maxed out at the HP it takes to go 160 in a 3500# car, but that car has also been driven all over the place, so it seems to be a very reliable pump.
