Received the MagnaFuel Quick Star 275 Fuel Pump. Much larger and heavier then the Aeromotive SS series pump. These pumps can run continuously for up to 1.5 hrs for limited street driving. The Aeromotive claims can use on daily driver, but I don't believe it. Just the small amount of driving I did on the street, was causing the pump to over heat and loose pressure.

I will be running -8AN braided stainless line from -8AN external bypass to the 8AN fitting on fuel tank. This will help with keeping the pump cooler and the fuel to not foam/vapor lock. Plus keeping the psi much more consistent.

Magnafuel weighs 5.28 lbs with external bypass: costs $299
Aeromotive weighs 3.90 lbs with NO external bypass: costs $187
