Will my a1000 make it on a 200 mile trip?

[asierra1]

I'm getting my cobra tuned in Dallas in the near future and I'm not sure if it'll make the trip without overheating. I'm stationed in Shreveport, so it's about 220 miles to the shop. I really don't wanna spend more money but if I have to, I will. Anyone think I could get away without a fuel cooler? I'll be making the drive early morning time, so the Texas heat won't be quite up to afternoon temps.


Thanks,
Alex

Well my A1000's has probably 12k miles on it and it's been just fine.. 400mile trips in AL and FL heat.. You'll be just fine.. Mine is wired on 100% all the time

 

[asierra1]

Well there's some good news

You'll be just fine man don't worry about it.. Aeromotive makes great pumps

How loud is it?

I don't hear my A1000 at all, but my friend has two on his TT Cobra and they are really loud. The C02 purging from my AMS1000 is louder than my fuel pump.

Mine isn't loud at all. But my car makes lots of noise with the T-trim and full O/R exhaust lol

my magnafuel pump kept crapping out so i went back in tank, wouldnt make it from lakeland to tampa (1 hour)

Hmm. I looked into a cooler from Glenn's performance. 220 isnt bad, but it raises another question. Where is a good place to mount it up?

 

[SlowSVT]

It that a return system?

 

[asierra1]

Yes

 

[SlowSVT]

I don't think your going to have a problem. The fuel will be constantly circulated thru the system and not "dead headed" inside a pair of hot fuel rails.

 

[AntiHeightPunk]

its actually a common problem on big fuel pump cars

Mine is mounted on the rear bumper.. Click my threads started and you'll see my E85 thread with pics of it mounted up..

 

[asierra1]
