Default Aeromotive pumps must be gravity fed?

So...today I found out that Aeromotive fuel pumps have to be gravity fed. Are there any external pumps that don't need to be gravity fed by the fuel cell?

so do you guys recommend the bosch and paxtons because of this? I've just heard of a few people having problems with their cars, cuz it's like the fuel pressure is going up and down instead of just being steady. one of them though i think he didn't read the directions when he mounted the aeromotive a1000 pump on his DSM.

The Bosch 044 pump is a puller. I am using it externally with a modified pickup where the stock fuel pump is located.

They really do need some sort of NPSH, but they will work...just not good for the pump cause they will cavitate.
