I've been running the Magnafuel 4301 tuner pump for the last few months. It's not too loud, and does not need any kind of boost-a-pump or fuel controller. This pump does not have the cavatation issues I've run into in the past under long hot drives. It is the only pump I run, no intank, and I make around 840 RWHP...

Good to hear.I've been considering that one.Do you have any problems as far as the pump not priming fast enough when you start the car?
Thanks

Sometimes I do need to prime it, turn the key one or twice before I start it, but once it's going, it holds pressure rock solid!

I have dual intank Walbros and definitely think it's a very good way to fuel the car

If that is your concern aeromotive makes a single in tank setup for for 1000+hp.

Think they go for around $750.

Your logic, if the one external goes under boost the same boom, I liked the twin walboro one my mechanic make for my since deceased C5, either way will work, it is just what you like better
