Damn, There was a thread not too long ago on here covering this but I cant remember the heading. Hit up Allen as he will know. So this is for the 20b or your old ride?

That seems very low. The waterman pump alone costs 700

For Waterman?? I highly doubt it's a NEW Waterman kit you're getting for that price.. A new pump by itself cost more than $850

Fastec is not waterman. Waterman is the best.

This thread is funny

Lucimar had problems with his Rons pump at the pan ams, so go figure... If you want a complete, bolt-in Watermans, call Edgar - 305-259-6767 http://eastcoastparts.com/

most of the aussie guys use the aeromotive pumps, and there are plenty of mounting kits out there for them too

I heard aeromotive pump bearing doesn't handle high rpm? Can somebody confirm is this is true?

i suppose if you gear ratio it incorrectly and you tighten the belt too much then the bearing will fail, but im only mentioning this as some people have no idea on mechanical sympathy.
Even a few of our front running N/A drag cars are running the aeromotive pump , But im also not implying i know of their service history on the pumps either

Look like I'm leaning toward the Ron's pump. Any experience input would be appreciated before I make the purchase.

So did you test the aeromotive out yet?It look like the aeromotive is the cheapest of them all but as for longevity and reliable I was told to stay away from it.

just curious as toi why you would lean towards the Rons pump? you asked for advise here and the Rons pump is the ONLY one that NOBODY had anything positive to say about.

from what I've seen and heard the waterman is the best, hands down. fueling is not the place to start cheaping out on your build...

if the waterman is not doable because of price, why not try the aeromotive?,

but Rons??? i just dont get it from the responses here....
