Aeromotive fuel pump

Does anyone have any experience with this pump http://racerwalsh.zoovy.com/product/AER11102? I'm looking into fuel pumps for my project I was going to go with 2 SX pumps or 2 bosch 044 pumps but for the price of about $600 for any of the 3 I was thinking to use the Aeromotive, only 1 pump instead of 2. I've go a datsun 1200 with 13brew bridged ends, precision t74gts tubo, running microtech ltx12s, ls1 corvette 80mm throttlebody and a whole list of other things. I'm very interested in this pump but haven't seen or read anyone using this particular pump. Any info would be much appreciated.

I'm not necessarily familiar with this particular model, but have installed a few aeromotive pumps. Jason, the owner of this board and RX7Store, ran an aeromotive pump on his Race-ported T-78 FD. Pressurized runs one on his Bridgeported T-51KAI. They hold fuel pressure very well at high boost but are EXTREMELY loud.

I've dealt with that pump, as well as the A1000 and the Eliminator.
They are excessively loud... sometimes beating out the exhaust note at idle, but there is no arguing with the flow of them.
Two things to help with noise: mount it in the tank, and use mounting pad isolators.

There are a few other pumps along those output levels you might want to look at, too. Barry Grant has pump putting out 1000 lb/hr of fuel at 60 psi (that's better than the Aero Pro unit you listed). Its also cheaper. Only downside is that you shouldn't be going over 75 psi on it, so if you plan on boosting above 30 psi, you'd need to find another pump.

So the Aeromotive Pro would be good up to 30psi boost as a single pump setup?
I'm not concerned with the noise so it's not an issue. I don't plan to run the motor more than 28psi boost anything higher than that and I'll switch to methanol. Also I was looking at the Weldon 2035 any thoughts on that pump?

Aero pro pump is rated for up to 120 psi... thats good for 75-80 psi of boost, based on standard fuel pressures.
