So,....I have a bad pump. It has 20-30 minutes run time on it.
Lets discuss my options:
This is the flaming piece of sht that I currently have:
-8 inlet, -6 outlet/ 85 GPH at 45 PSI ( that is equivalent to 321 LPH) Cost to buy= 222.00
Summit has this junker under two different SKU's. The branded SKU is AEM, and they have a version under their PN.
-10 in, -6 out /This thing is rated at 97 GPH at 45 psi w/ discount this doo doo head should be 125.00.
If I bought the Summit branded version it should be about 15.00 less.
Pro to the above is price, and fitment. Con is IDK if I can trust it.
Next up is this dude:
Summits version of the Aeromotive piece they also sell:
Supposedly rated at 450 pounds per hour at 65 P.S.I. (That equals 75 Gallons per hour at that rated P.S.I)
With the discount, this piece would be be 170.00
Here's the real fcked up part.....this piece is current, Aeromotive sells Their branded piece for almost twice this, and only rates their product for 5 more gallons per hour.
Here's the double fcked up part. This piece is an exact replacement for the Mallory P.O.S that is currently sitting under the monster.
Coincidence? I think not. Matter of fact,...Summit's PN for the Aeromotive version...is 11106
Guess what the original PN was for the Mallory piece before MSD bought them?...Yep,...11106M
The Pros to this is that it is a direct replacement w/ a current PN. The cons are...Is it anybetter than the current junker that is one the car?
Ahem,......because they are charging twice as much for their name,....Aeromotive will not be invited to my comparison.
So,....these three pumps fit my "budget". (two summits and an AEM) From there it just gets stupid expensive. From what I understand there is a Holley version that will be comparable but costs as much as the Aeromotive piece. I am just not prepared to spend that much considering I'm already having to throw away the existing 200 dollars spent on the existing turd under the car.
The other alternative is that I attempt to take the existing part apart, and repair it myself...I'll check into that tomorrow .
