pretty much any fuel pump thats capable of supporting that much power is going to heat up, weldon, aeromotive are race fuel pumps, i have being using the a1000 for over a year with no problem, my friend its being using it over 3 years no problem, most street cars by Lopez Racing are running aeromotive A1000.

+1 On the above suggestions.

Standard Walboro 255, Aeromotive A1000 Or Weldon 2000-series Will do you fine.

Really, the difference will be if you want to run an internal, or external one.

A good FMU wiould be advised, as well. The Aeromotive unit is a good sell, or you could go with the tried an true
Vortech
unit.

As long as you have both the flow rate and the psi, you'll be good to go.

Twin bosch 044s would be about as reliable as you could get, and provide more than enough fuel for 700 on e85.


Btw what other mods are you planning on doing to achieve this goal?

Twin 44s would be good.

Maybe an in-tank AND an in-line, the latter switchable via either switch or boost reference?

The 'Mods' question was also coming, but I got beaten to it.

My personal opinion is having a setup like that would just introduce another part to fail. Keep it simple, with 2 pumps in the tank always running, and not have to worry about the second pump coming online when it is most needed.
