Re: External fuel pump setups? I got the one from speed and I dont even hear it and its on all the time. Oh might want to add I have dual cutouts <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Re: External fuel pump setups? We run the Bosch 420L pump in our shop car, and I also run it in my 87GN. Relatively quiet, tested to 722 RWHP, and it has lived in my GN for 2 years without a problem. We have used the Aeromotive Eliminator pump, but really have no long-term info.
We use the Walbro 392 inline in most heads/cam/spray cars. IT is VERY quiet and reliable.

Re: External fuel pump setups? Weldon 2035 here.
I took my advice from some of the mustang guys. My pump is a lil overkill for most setups but I am also looking down the road. I have been looking at some of the BG pumps that have been recently released as they seem to carry some nice stuff.
I would use a belted pump on a race car but not a street car (just my personal pref though)
With the hp ratings of the dual intanks they are a hard bargain to beat. No sumping of the tank, and other issues. I would buy another Weldon though.

Re: External fuel pump setups? If its going to be used primarily as a street car id get dual walbro 340 intanks. mabye have one wired to come on after a preset boost amount.
Re: External fuel pump setups? you already now my setup John <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
So far so good on the pump that Aeromotive warned me is only rated for about 500 hours of full power use. I'm over than by now, and no issues. And yes, it's LOUD <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: External fuel pump setups? I used to run a Weldon 2025 and it was loud, very loud. People hear the pump coming before the car and know who it is <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
I now run the Aeromotive and use the Aeromotive controller. Runs at about half speed on the street and is very quiet IMO, especially compared to the Weldon. I have a toggle to flip it on full speed when shooting laughing gas.
The Weldon's are very heavy as well (about 10 pounds). The Aeromotive is much easier to mount than a Weldon.

Re: External fuel pump setups? Thanks for the replies,
I would like to run an external so that I can easily check the pump and make the car easier to work on.
Now, I hear from various folks that Weldons don't last long on the street, not heard that about the Bosch or Aeromotive pumps... Thoughts?

Re: External fuel pump setups? Weldons are by far one of the best out there, but its a MUST that you run a stepdown box with one on the street. I am running a Weldon 2025 and stepdown...should do good on the street. Ohh, the sound??? All I hear is tirespin <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: External fuel pump setups? I had the aeromotive the past couple seasons but sold it in favor of the Weldon 2025A.
I dont do much street driving anymore so I didnt even buy the step down box. If I were driving it more on the street though I wouldnt hesitate.
Good luck.

Re: External fuel pump setups? If you don't have a stepdown box, be carefull on the street. Weldon told me that it flows enough fuel, to heat it up to 230+ degrees within 30 min of street driving....provided no stepdown box. Boiling fuel anyone? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> FYI
