If your serious about using alcohol, You should get a WELDON...

Take a look at the 2025 and 2035 weldon pumps.

pumps

i might be wrong but the rating on that pump is for gasoline and not alchohol. that would mean that you could make only half of the rated h.p. with that pump and alcohol. i am using 8 1500cc lucas injectors ,dual ESSEX pumps , dual -10 lines to 2 seperate fual rails and one aeromotive regulator with a -8 return line. i am basically copying Flauta's new setup and he just went 5.70's (1/8)with only 500rwhp and a **** motor during his licsense runs!

i could be wrong but i think that is how it works.

1 weldon pump could do the trick but I wanted to see if this aeromotive product could do it also

Greg I beleive the Aeromotive are not designed for alcohol. Also everyone that I know of that are running on alcohol are using two weldon 2025 pumps.
