Which External FI Pump?
I found a guy with both the Vortex (or paxton?) T-Rex pump, and the Aeromotive 1000HP pumps for sale. Both are for a good price, with the aeromotive being $85 more.
Both will supply more than enough fuel, and the aeromotive is actually overkill, but if the pump is head and shoulders above the T-RexI'll spend the money, but I'm not familiar with it.
Looking for recommendations, thanks as usual for all the input.

I've never used a T-Rex pump but I know they are a pretty good pump but noisey from what I've heard. We've used many of the Aeromotive A1000 pumps with very good results but it's gonna make a little noise too.

The Vortech pump is basically a Walbro 340 inline pump. 255LPH. A lot of LS1 conversion guys are using them. You can hear it when the car is off and the pump is running. You can also hear it when you are within 5 feet or so of the car when running. You can't hear it in the car when running.
Here is mine.

Cool, thanks all. Jeff, is that a stock tank with the return line running up to the top?
I'm leaning towards the aeromotive. It's supposedly a bit quieter, mounting tabs are built in to the unit, and I'll never have to worry about flow if I get the chance to add a blower down the road...
