Changed over to an ally tank & swirl pot, I want a pump to feed the swirl pot, thinking about it, it doesn't need to be a high pressure pump.
So would something like this do - 140 lt p/hr

or maybe this Facet might be better quality although similar flow

If it's for your race car, then you could also incorproate a "cool can" surge tank down near the firewall somewhere.

Those pumps you listed above have always worked for me, but no matter how I mounted them they always seemed to either "hum" or vibrate a bit. I have found that the low-pressure external "roller cell" type pumps do the same kjob but are lots quieter, if that's a consideration.
Not this pump necessarily, but this style........

I run a surge tank with carbs if only so i can run a lower fuel level, its before the main pump under the tank and gravity fed, no pump or wiring so reliable and light.
