Not enough fuel? Just add another pump 
We just can't give up how quiet the Weldon A600 is.The car made it to 800rwhp with 1 pump then ran out of flow so we are adding this other one that will run on a boost switch and a manual switch.Should be enough now to hit 4 digit's

Sure,be a wiseguy
That was actually just screwed in backwards.Has to come off again to hook up the feed line above it--so it's hand tight right now and will be coming off
Who has the best deal on these pumps?
I have a Walbro intank pump, would I get enough flow with this pump in series with the intank pump or would the intank just be a restriction? Looking for @ least 700RWHP but I want to stick with the stock fuel tank on a 02 Fbod.
How much pressure is this pump able to build and maintain?
Thanks

If you figure a 17% driveline loss you're talking 850 fwhp. At a BSFC of .55 that's gonna be about 75 gph. With an LS1 at 60 psi non boost regulated that's a pretty big pump. The 600-A isn't going to make that happen on its own. 2 in parallel will of couse and you could stage the second one in with boost. A single intank will be a restriction at that level.

A voltage booster could make it happen, but you'll need a good intank pickup.
A single Aeromotive Eliminator will flow 90 GPH @ 12v and 60 psi, but you'll need a speed controller for street driving and a -12 inlet from the tank.
