We use an Aeromotive pump. It's a little pricey but it lasted three years before it died.
(crew error) Using a stock ford inline pump, it might last two races before the fuel pressure would start to become erratic.

Thats what i will be buying. I found a competant Aeromotive for 82.00 online, which is a great deal. Got it taken care of.
Thanks,

Make sure to run a 100 micron filter before the pump and a 10 micron filter after, to protect the injectors.

speaking of fuel filters, is there a reason why canister type filters aren't used more for Dez racing trucks, seems to me it would be much easier to change out the filter element but there must be a reason that is alluding me as to why they are not used, not as much filter area/effectiveness, pressure drop?

As for a fuel pump, I was going to use the msd 2225a but decided I didn't like the barb fitting fused on the terminal side and went to a Walbro GSS-392 for the simple reason that I can us AN fittings for both inlet and exit.

Another question I have is for hardline, what material is typically used for EFI applications, I see alot of Al tubing although I was under the impression that it is a no-no for higher pressure/efi stuff. I want to use the russel aluminum hardline-AN fittings but was told that they were designed for use with Al hardline. Can anybody clarify/confirm any of this, come up with any guidlines or what hardline/fittings should be used?
Thanks guys, any input from experience is greatly appreciated!
