Street/Track fuel pump questions: (700-800whp) on Ethanol
I have reached the limit on my A1000 and now its time to upgrade. I still drive the car on the streets even though the car is starting to be a bit more geared towards the track. I am very happy with the power the car made but I would like get a little more MPH out of my gears.
I would like to stick to running 1 pump rather than 2. I know a Weldon is probably going to be the answer but there has to be another solution to getting me just a little bit more fuel. Weldons are quite a bit more money than the Magnafuel pumps and I am not financially ready to keep transmissions together at 800+whp.
The car, on my "gangster" tune, is making 738whp at 28psi revving 8700rpm. Since the fuel pump wasn't keeping pressure consistent up top, we had to lower the boost about 5psi and take the rev limit down to 8000. I need to be able to rev the engine to 9500 to make my turbo/gearing work properly.
Just curious if any of you guys have used a Magnafuel 4303 in your street/track cars? Its rated at 2000+hp but I know that running ethanol, its going to be less. I have seen that people are having good success with them on the streets as well, just wanted to get some feedback from some Honda enthusiasts.
Btw- I will only drive the car to and from work (20 mins each way) once in a while and out to some of the hangouts on the weekends. All inner city driving, no road trips. When it goes to the track, it will be on a trailer.
Thanks for the help guys!

Ya 044's are a good setup but I really just want to stick with one pump. The Weldon pumps are probably the best but there has to be something that will suit my needs for less money. I would like to avoid running a pump controller as well because that just adds to the cost of the pump,thats why I have been looking into the Magnafuel 4303. I have been getting some feedback on it and people are making 950+ using that pump with e85 and ID2000s.

Look on racingjunkdotcom for a used pump from the v8 crowd maybe? Im running e98 on my turbo b set up using 2 a1000's . Getting ready to see how well its going to work. Another issue to look into is regulators once you bring it to that level. Think im going to run a regulator for each of my rails to try and minimize any volume loss at each of the last injectors to see fuel. Just my 2 cents...

Also to be noted that the Weldon pumps are not intended for street use at all. I'm sure there are people doing it but if you're gonna spend that much money on a pump I'd suggest following manufacturer warnings lol.
After doing a quick search, this pump is very intriguing. V8 guys are making 1000+rwhp on E85 no problem with it, and the price as half of the Weldon boys.
(Actually interested here too, as I'm looking at fueling similar goals)

A good friend of mine is running a Weldon on his 363 98 mm turbo mustang . He drives it everywhere and has been for years. Its a low 8 car currently. About to be 7's. On street tires. Hes seen no issues at all with the pump ever but is now going to make the switch to e98 and has 2 large Weldon on it. Ive seen a lot of big power street cars and never heard of any issues for what its worth.

With a Weldon, they recommend running a Weldon pump speed controller if its going to be used for long periods of time on the street. I have heard that Alot of people are running then on the street but I dont really think I want to risk hurting an $800 fuel pump.

I run dual DW340s through stock -6 lines to 700+whp on E98. I just have a -6 T fitting in the tank feeding a stock rail as well.
This is on a V6.. but it shouldtn matter.
