I'm definitely not running a pro-mod, I want more than enough. I'm building a big block a-body, dedicated drag car only shooting for 10.00 et but I want it ready to go faster when I can afford that.That’s a serious pump for any kind of street car. Think promod. The A1000 flows more than enough fuel for about any street level HP. I currently use the A750s, the a1000s, and the a340 in tank pumps from aeromotive. They make a fantastic product. But do you need that much pump?
Yeah that's plenty, lol.View attachment 1715976678
specs for the a2000
I just looked at the a1000, that's probably more than I need.What fuel? Na or boost? Carb or injection? Start there.
Thanks for answering my questions and thanks for the advice too.The A 1000 will be more than enough. And will give you room for more hp in the future. At lower power levels (500-600) or lots of street driving, use their fuel pump controller. Makes the pumps last forever and keeps the fuel cooler.
Will doCome back and let us know what happens on the dyno.
I run the A2000 on my duster race car. It’s an awesome pump. The return line comes off the pump so with it mounted in the rear u just have a short return line. One line only to the front. I also have the -10 Aeromotive hose. 470 stroker 655 hp, 620 tq. Low 10s. My buddy runs the A1000 in a 4000 lbs 71 Super Bee. Just over 800 hp.He likes it. Kim
Where is your regulator?
You got me thinking I did mine wrong
my return comes off the regulator which is mounted in the front of the car ..
And goes back to the tank which of course is in the rear of the car
I've been 10.008 @ almost 135 on pump 93 with a Holley Black Billet pump, the pressure was down to 3 psi at the stripe. The car wasn't laying down though.
At 9 psi the Holley black flows around 720lbs/hr. At 20 psi the A1000 flows around 900lbs/hr. As you know when pressure goes down volume goes up. Aeromotive doesn’t show the flow rate at lower pressure from that pump and Holley doesn’t show a flow rate for higher pressure so a direct comparison is hard, but I bet the black pump falls off fast at higher pressure where the aeromotive is rated. I’d bet at carbureted pressures the a1000 flows close to 1000lbs/hr. The a-1000 is more than most guys will need.Trying to decipher the flow graph from Aeromotive, it appears that at 20 psi that pump pumps 800 pounds per hour. At 6 pounds per gallon that’s 133.33 gallons per hour. At 6.5 pounds per gallon 123 gallons per hour.
That’s down there with a Holley pump.
I’ve seen pump gas that weighed a little over 6 pounds per gallon and some that was over 7. That’s why you have to measure specific gravity of the fuel you are using when you test on the dyno or the BSFC number might be off.
That A1000 is too small for me. I’m not a fan of rating fuel pumps by horsepower.
The regulator is mounted at the carb. Works just fine. KimWhere is your regulator?
