I used 2x Aeromotive Eliminators for my setup.... they have been great. I am actually about to upgrade if you are interested in some.

They have been great and are good for close to 2400rwhp, more than your setup will be capible of.

Looking through the build list I noticed you aren't going 6 bolt on the heads... aren't you concearned about them lifting?

I guess if you aren't running too much boost it won't be an issue.

Good luck on the build.

yes actually i am the one building the car and we know that 6 bolt heads would be better but he already had the motor so ... he is also running ported ls3 heads which is something i worry about but i guess we will see wut happens

and were hoping that around 15#'s we will be in the 1khp territory on e85 and a 6speed

We made 1000 around 15psi with a 4l80 so that shouldn't be an issue

This should be a really fast roll car! I'd guess not much will give you any trouble...

I had the Garrett 91mm too. We were making crazy power on 93 but we did use an Air-to-water intercooler.

good luck with the build, it should be a monster!

Good luck with the build, Louis! Glad to see you making progress!

It goes without saying that every manufacturer will have a problem part from time to time. I hate to hear of your problems, Mr Big. However, in our experience, FueLab pumps and regulators have worked flawlessly. We used them on our record setting standing mile car, and they will be used on the next car too. Additionally, FueLab has always stood behind their parts for our customers too. This is why we continue to use them for our personal and customer projects. Let's not take away from Louis's build by turning the thread in to a pump comparison page. I'll be happy to answer any questions directly via email or PM.

I didn't turn the thread into any comparison or any other direction, I offered friendly advice from many miles of experience with every "generation" of pump Fuel LAb offered, I stated my experience to help a fellow member. And to add in "MY" experience over several tries with different "generations" of Fuel Lab pumps and over a few years they have NOT stood behind their pumps, and it cost me several thousands of dollars and much down time because of the pumps, how ever to be fair the rest of their products are great!...... just not their pumps. I speak from extensive first hand experience, both race and street miles... to add Dallas Performance DID stand behind the issues and helped me in every possible way with in their power, however it still took a large toll on my build directly because of issues related to their pumps. Once again this is just factual experience shared with another member and not pointed at anyone other than Fuel Lab, specifically their pumps and customer service... I stand behind what I said... Do NOT use that pump!!!
