Which Fuel pump?

I have decided to go down to one external fuel pump, don't really see the need for two. Which

pump do you guys recommend? I have 2 bosch 44s right now, but one of them is on its way

out and I figured I would just buy a brand new pump. Should I stick with 1 New 044, or should

I look into a different pump? I have one 255 in the tank right now and I am looking for the

850hp range. Thanks.

I was thinking of an in-tank setup but I have already drilled the tank, and ran all of the lines for the way it is setup right now.

I have a stock intank and an 044 external and should see mid 700s-800rw. I would do my setup but with the new aeromotive 340 pump instead of the 044. Or swap the 044 with the a1000

I have read a little about the new 340, but it hasn't been released yet, has it? I used to have an A1000 on my TT cobra and that thing was a bit on the loud side.

1 intank and 1 bosch in parallel should do the trick for 850 ???

The new aeromotive 340 is supposed to be out at the end of the month but jegs says it will be available to ship on 3/11/11 I believe. There is a thread about the 340 in the C6 FI section if you want to check it out.

I am hoping that it will. I did over 550 with just the 255 in the tank, no BAP. I am hoping the additional pump will make up the difference.

4 A1000's in series

seriously though, the A1000 might be a lil on the loud side, use it off a hobbs switch to only come on under boost. Youll never notice it.

That is how it is rigged now(hob switch). I see that the A1000 has -10 inlet and outlet; I am assuming they make a reducer from -10 to -8 so it will fit my feed line?

You could reduce to an 8, or upgrade your lines to a 10

How about fuel labs? http://fuelab.com/products/prodigy-fuel-pumps

There have really nice brush less motor set ups!

Other wise stick with the 044

I am kind of leaning towards the Bosch 044 now, just because that is what I was using. I need to find a check valve for the pump though. Jayracing seems to be the only place I can find one, and they are out of stock.
