A1000 Aeromotive. One fed mine well into the 9's. Takes two of them to feed the turbo combo.
I don't run any voltage reducers etc....and have driven road trips of several thousand miles at a time with no issues. They DON'T like running out of fuel. That will eventually damage them.

I have Ben running a Holley Black pump for years with my SBC. Just swapped to a BB and left the pump in place. I believe back when I did the calculation the pump would provide everything my engine required per the power it made. Nothing fancy, real simple….run 1/2” feed with a 3/8” return and two filters.
I just got the BB running a few months ago so still getting it dialed in. Seems to be fine on the street but have zero data for track setup.

My advice for an electric fuel pump: I think it's a good idea to get a speed controller for the A1000 or any pump. This runs the pump at reduced rpm at idle and off idle. Full pump rpm doesn't come in until rpm increases to where you need full pump delivery. Running the pump slow at low rpm makes less noise and less wear and tear on the motor. Imagine a long road trip lasting hours and running 2000 rpm at 70 mph. You don't need the pump running full rpm for hours. 3.73:1 rear end, Tramac 5 speed 498 cubic inches, 630 hp at 7000 rpm.

I am using a Holley In Tank Pump and regulator assembly that sends 60psi to my EFI system. On my 1968 it took very little time with an empty tank to install and wire the fuel pump. The Holley In Tank modules are available at efisystempro.com and here is the page that has the right pump for up to 1982 Corvettes:
.efisystempro.com/fuel-system/fuel-tank-modules/oe-style-fuel-tank-modules-chevy-corvette-78-82-12-313
It even comes with a section of the Hydra-Mat which works great all for $437.99
