go to jegs. I just bought a 500lb/hr aeromotive pump for 280. It will support up to 700whp on a FI motor. and close to 1kwhp on a all motor setup. It is -10an lines in and out. You will need an aeromtive fuel filter also, got everything for less that 400shipped. If this is what your looking for, let me know, i'll find the part numbers for you.

What don't you like about the SX?
I was about to use it until I switched to crystal meth.....I mean meth.
So I was gonna use it on my next car

E: Oh. Don't like the FPR anyway. Mallory one looks nice

thats why I was trying to come up with something other than the aeromotive... (and SX)

I have heard bad things about them, and some people say they are fine, but I have never heard anybody say that they LOVE their aeromotive...

take a look at Weldon...they are very nice, but pricey too...I think the part number that most imports use retail around 800 bucks

ive seen this a lot lately. sx and aeromotive are similar but not exactly the same. ive heard of a cpl sx pumps failing as well as their regulators. sx **** even costs more than aeromotive!!!! it maybe due to the internal construction of the pump components itself? aeromotive is the low balla gucci ****...it works

yea, the aeromotive will work fine. And if your on a budget, the price is great. I just bought a 500lb/hr pump from them.

i heard sx makes the aeromotive? a couple of my friends run the sx pump and regulator, and they've never complained about them. i've been using an sx regulator for about 3 years and it also still works just like new?

I thought aeromotive bought out paxton. If sx makes the aeromotive line, maybe they make it better than some of their other products, kinda like a higher/better quality line.

if we go just by price, the sx stuff is more expensive. also, side by side between the aeromotive vs sx on their pump and regulators, the machining quality is higher on the sx, but that's jsut my opinion.
