What fuel system for E85 capable of 1000rwhp?

I ran a 450 at 750whp and it held 60psi of pressure all the way to 7krpm on E85. Remember that a blower car is going to take more fuel to make the same 750whp.... Just my opinion.
My 1000hp build I just wrapped up still has the 450 in tank but I externally mounted a 750 Magnafuel and went return style with ID2000s.

I run the Triple setup in our F1X G8 build. Its got triple 267 pumps and is rated for 1800 on E85. We may not max the fuel system out on that build though. We are only expecting 1200-1400 MAX.

i'm sitting at 750rwhp on e85. stock pump just with a BAP, well she decided to not hold pressure on the top end. Thinking about seeing what a 450e will do with a BAP

If you're going into the tank why not put two pumps in there and get rid of the BAP? I ran a ghettofabulous fuel system for years up to ~1000 on pump. Two Walbro 255's Y'ed together in the stock bucket run from a Racetronics hotwire kit.

Curious how this works with the siphon pump, etc.? Any other details?

Still siphons fine as it idles at 65# at idle and drops to 55# WOT. Just loses the venturi pump to fill the bucket but the bottom of the bucket gets cut off anyway.
As previously mentioned, it's ghetto. I wouldn't consider it a fuel "system" but it got me by for quite a while. What got me away from it was I didn't like running 25# of boost and 55# of fuel pressure (30# effective fuel pressure) so I built a real return style fuel system.

Just got my triple 274s yesterday. Should be a fun time.

I'm running two AEM 380lph fuel pumps with a fuel cell in the back trunk. 2 -10 feeds and a -8 return line. should be good over 1kwhp easily (E85 Fuel).

My twin AEM 320s made 1200 on pump easy enough. Only doing the triple 450s for e85 later.

What's your guestimation of supported power with that setup on E ??
And.....how you plan on fitting them in the tank ?? My single 450 filled up the bucket...lol.

I noticed on their description they say it requires "split installation". I assume it goes in in two (or more) pieces then bolts together somehow?

Yep, have to install the pumps 1 at a time in the tank instead of dropping the whole thing in.
