need pump for 12,000 CC/Min methanol

i plan to run the Texas Mile in Oct. my motor will be making 600 rw for about 30 seconds so methanol, with it's significantly better cooling than ethanol, will be my fuel.

of course methanol also has significantly less energy than ethanol per volume so i will need alot of deliverability.

i want to plan to be able to run 10 to 1 AFRs, though i will probably run mid 11s. i want to run no more than 85% IDC.

add it all up and i need 11,666 CC/Min. call it 12,000.

i also plan a bunch of road racing track days on methanol at the 450 rwhp level. and finally the car is a daily, well weekend, driver.

street will see gasoline and AI methanol injection.

i plan to run 6 ID2000 injectors.

so what might be my best option pump(s)wise???

thanks for any help.

For that kind of flow a belt driven mechanical pump would be your best choice. Look at either the waterman or the ron's pumps, both are great pumps!

Ive glanced over you 80/20 meth thread. Any reason why you arnt just going for a 50/50ish build?

Just have 2 ID2000's doing gas on the primarys (I hear these new injectors can idle still being this big) and 4 ID2000 in the secondarys spraying meth with a ground zero lim

so with the sequential injector system already in place it shoudnt be spraying much meth until you are in boost.

Just a thought, might be a dumb one

edit: might even be able to just do 2 ID1000's for the primarys with 8k cc of meth in the secondarys put a 8ish gallon cell in the back for meth and just run it like that every day
