The Aeromotive pump doesn't burn up, the fuel gets hot from the high circulation rates. It picks up underhood heat and then vaporizes in the inlet of the pump which is under vacuum. This in turn causes the pump to run dry on vapor and that causes the damage. Any extreme volume pump is susceptible to that.
A speed reducer is a good idea, or twin staged pumps in parallel.

I bought a 98 tank originally intending to sump it, but now I think I'm gonna go with 2 in the tank like Mightymouse and RyanK... here's why for me:
To cut and weld on the tank, you need to have it cleaned out by a radiator shop (and many won't do it)... this process removes a coating from the tank inside though, and a guy I was speaking with via PMs recently told me that he did all of this, and that the tank rusted and ruined his stock engine because it needed to be re-coated after all was said and done... How on earth do you this?? The 98 tank was supposed to be a budget piece for me, but after all of the sumping and cleaning, etc, Nasty Nate's tank look like a viable solution price-wise...
Which brings me back to 2 in-tank pumps... this is a proven arrangement too, so...

The weldon 2025 and 2035 pumps do pull some power. So you'll want to keep an eye on your charging system when you are street cruise in the early stages of the summer. Things that will play with this are the undrive pulley which might need to be countered with a little higher rpm idle or even heat shielding on over the voltage regulator if the backside of your altnerator is exposed to the hot side pipes of your turbo kit.
Some people choose to run the Weldon or Aeromotive voltage controllers to reduce flow and noise while street cruising. I choose to run the volume up on the CD player.

I forgot the last issue..... the sump interferes with a cat-back sytle muffler...
But 200 seems like a deal for all of the work... I'm gonna PM you this evening.
Anyone running a sumped 98 tank w/catback? Even with the sump cut down, it still looks like a difficult fit.
