well im going to go with siemens flowmatched 60lb injectors with my N/A h/c/i 500whp set up. now what brand/kind of pump should i run? do i even NEED too? id like one compatible for e85. i can get a BOSCH 044 from a friend locally for a little under 200 but have heard they arent e85 friendly. im not 100% sure if and when ill run e85 but i want to buy the right pump once so it can take what ill throw at it. i hear walbro arent the best...but what do you all think?

You threw out a lot of variables to consider.

The single Racetronix w/ Hotwire is good for at least 550rwhp on gas. These are direct fit kits & are a great way to go. I have these in stock.

On E85 you will probably need more pump. There are a few options, but none are a direct fit. I offer a dual kit that will easily support your needs. Feel free to give me a call to discuss your options.

Typically my price is within a dollar or 2 of Racetronix.
My customers get my free tech support...

As for the 044, it does not exactly fall in place & due to your lack of experience in fuel systems, I would suggest the tried & true Racetronix kit for the least amount of trouble.

Actually no GSS series Walbro pumps are E85 rated, but I have had great luck with the Racetronix/Walbro pumps with E85 for many years.

would you recommend the 044 or racetronix? seeing as the racetronix is a driect drop in with all fittings for 208.99 and the 044 is around 200.00 then buying the fittings?
