I stick to the DSMlink board mostly. Dunno if your on there but ive not seen any cars running the a1000 over there. If anyone throws in a big inline single its a weldon pump, the magnafuels are getting popular.

Yep, I'm over there. Weldons are very rare. (crazy expensive, I could count the guys on my hands that run them) And Magnas have been ran for a while, at least out here there are a few guys who swear by them, but I'm not a fan. Up until recent the main ran big pump was always the A1000, hell even I ran one, twice. I nor many of the other folks ever had issues with them when installed correctly and ran as instructed. It was quieter than my Walbro, less complicated to run, and I got it for a steal. You can grab up a1000s for $150-200 all day long. There isn't much of a price difference. The success of the 044 knocked the a1000 off its thrown. Its just a superior pump in every way and running 2 of them will support anything a DSMer can throw at it. I'm running a s475 sized turbo (About the largest one I have seen ran in the DSM world) and it will no doubt meet my goals on e85. My injectors will crap out on me before those pumps do. The Pro/Eliminator Aero pump has picked up popularity, but its price tag just isn't as friendly as dual o44s but a lot less than the others. Fuel lab almost picked up ground but they have been failing all over the place. About the only thing you can get from them is filters, some trust their AFPRs but I'll stick to my Aero for now.

Nope TSimage. Auto s475 on spray. 1g aluminum rod 2.0 street car.

I like Twicks new plans for his car however, it will be interesting to see how his car compares running the s475 on a 2g with a 2.3 5spd and no spray. I'll be doing it almost the exact opposite with spray, 2.0 aluminum rod, 1g and Auto.

He frequents the T00nerZ board.

I dont think 2/16's of an inch is going to be detrimental to anything.
I was running a 10 to my eliminator and after talking to tony and aeromotive they told me these pumps are very sensitive about what feed they are receiving and need to run the 12an to the pump, so I had my sump redone and ordered all the damn new fittings and pro-series filter etc..... 12an **** is not cheap! But I feel I can trust Tony's and Aeromotive word on that.. Especially with how much boost and power we are trying to make..We will see what happens..

I run a -8 Feed with a -6 Return using E85 with Dual 255hp's, never had an issue getting below 45psi base even when I had the OEM Feed run as the return.

My DSM stock has a -6an feed and im not sure of the return.
Just for reference, the size of your stock lines are the same as us 130hp from the factory non turbo hondas. Both are just a fuzz shy of -6an size feeds.
