You can get a Walbro 255hp and bosch 044 for $300. Which is around the same price as the a1000. Plus with the a1000 you will have to have a sumped tank and all the lines,fittings pre filter and post filter.

It will be interesting to see the new deatschwerks pump with bosch 044 inline.

There's a lot of options out there for fuel setups, which is a good thing.

agreed on the many options

sump tank want much at all maybe 100 bux
filters around the same
i did do the street voltage regulator to prolong the life of the pump with daily driving, but i dont do that anymore

i would rather have 1 pump to worry about than 2, and the a1000 has been proven to do 850hp on e85 so i like the option of that as well.

you are correct there are other cheaper ways of doing it

a1000 needs that controller too right if your running it on the street so you dont burn it up. I think thats what i remember reading, but im sure someone will correct me if im wrong.

sanman000719

yes thats why i listed that so your correct

Walbro/Bosch combo here too. Funny (well not FUNNY funny) that your Walbro went out soon as you switched. My Walbro has been pumping E85 for approaching 5 years now.

I think I remember seeing deatschwerks state that there new pump is compatible with E85.

So really your a1000 cost double what a walbro/044 costs. Cool.

umm no my a1000 was 300 bux and has lasted 3 years now of dailey driving as well as racing so yeah really now when you add all the little accessories its around 500 bux.

add in the cost of replacing that little wally, and then a bosh after the purchase of the original ones, and im pretty sure we even out, and i also think my power potential is alittle more than your

so yup really
