Default sumped tank with a1000 pump, dual bosch 044's or dual walbro intank?

debating which route i should go for my fuel setup. i know for sure i'll be getting a 9 gallon FCS fuel tank but debating if i should go with a sumped tank with either a aeromotive a1000 pump, dual bosch 044's or a intank dual walbro setup. which setup would everyone recommend me on using. thanks in advance.

Dual 044's is your best option.......... the A1000 has horrible reliability BTW

You cannot go too wrong with boschs. They are awesome pumps. And its a plus.when you.do switch over to the FCS you won't have any problems with what ever you go with.

only problem to me with 2 044's is if one fails the other is still pumping and causing you to go lean

use one pump and it fails the car just dies lol

We use Bosch 044. we've been on the same ones for three years on our ESR SFWD Civic. Looks baller with an FCS tank. Here's a pic of a customers car we just finished. It's also an FCS tank with sending unit.

I made this calculator a couple months ago may help you with deciding what pumps to run.

No one asked if it was a street car that will see street duty as well as the track?. you could use either setup as long as you have some kind of voltage regulator for the fuel pump. Aeromotive has a regulator box designed for the pump to keep the pump from over heating. dual walbros will work great cause they use the fuel to cool the pumps and also would be that much better with a KB boost a pump which can increase your fuel pumps potential and reduce the cars current BSFC.
