It is a very quiet pump and I did not have to run any kind of voltage regulator. I hope this helps.

If you are maxed at 15PSI /750RWHP, sounds like my decision is to use the weldon as an intermediate approach, or I need to go bigger from the get go. That is where the longevity question comes into play, no need to overkill then not utilize.
My thought is to replace my OEM (bucket pump) with a Walbro 255HP, this would suffice for city/non boosted usage. The additional pump would be energized by a pressure switch, to augment the OEM pump. I am assuming that instead of a continuous duty, this approach would increase the life of whatever pump I choose.

With a big budget do it right from the beginning and you will save money from a redo. An inline pump will not work with the factory bucket pump/siphon. It takes the pressure head off the siphon and the bucket doesn't fill up...no gas = boom.
Sump the factory tank (if possible) or buy a custom tank and have either preplumbed for two external 420 Bosch or similar Weldon pumps. -8an to each pump for individual feeds and y it to a single -8an main feed. Run one pump continuously and wire the other to a hoobs switch to keep your fuel cool while driving on the street. You'll have enough reliable supply for 1500 engine hp without overheating the fuel and pumps. I prefer the Bosch 420 as it is a high pressure (80psi ...no problem since you'll want to boost reference your regulator for max injector flow) and it is OEM quality with years of history.

If you can find one single BG, Magnaflow or Aeromotive that's lasted over 14 years on the street, I'll be very surprised. (I've see countless stock pumps crap out earlier.)
PS weldon's main source of revenue is making fluid pumps for missile defense systems so cars are a walk in the park for them. think about it!

Not many people have magnafuels on this board. I will tell you this. I have the 4303 and it is alot quieter than I expect and holds my RWHP no problem. Which these pumps are rated at 2000 hp NA and 1500 FI. Fuel pressure is rock solid! Nate sells them at a dam good price too!

What is a hoobs switch? Also, is necesary to rfun two filters per pump (pre/post) or simply pre pump then into a y?

No the Pro series Aeromotive are not meant to be street driven. Use one MagnaFuel street pump they have them good all the way to 2000hp. And a Nasty sumped tank is a better way to go 
way less hassle than sumping a GM tank making sure it does not leak and having it coated so it does not rust...ARG

Hi, im trying to find out what pump i should buy, the only one i could find at summit that would fit my needs is this
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...2D2225&FROM=MG
im thinking of tuning the engine to 550 hp, would this pump be good enough for that? 60 psi is stock, is it possible if you choose say a 100psi pump, that the regulator are gonna struggle to keep the pressure down?

I ran a Weldon 2025. I removed it. It was just too loud for me. I now run dual Bosch 420L external pumps and a sheetmetal gas tank. My only gripes with sheetmetal gas tanks is that mine (CAS) seems to not vent right so I have to put fuel in slowly, and I'm not sure how to make my fuel gauge accurate, maybe I need to bend the arm of the float or something. So if you buy a sheetmetal make sure the seller knows how it all works and has good directions.

The pump is too far away from its pickup...
Ive seen this exact setup lock up after 45 minutes of driving on the highway. That pump should be gravity or sump fed. Not pull its own fuel and then push it as well. Builds heat!
If your installs are working im quite shocked. The Aeromotive site doesnt even have a diagram for that setup. Maybe you should submit yours to them.
