Pro comp makes a fuel pump?

fuelab 41401 is all you'll need in one of these trucks, youll need a regulated return or an inline regulator to regulate it to the fuel bowl, and a filter setup though. I wouldnt even put the airdog back on the truck as a pusher pump turned down, they're a joke.

Wow it looks way similar to Aeromotive's pump

get a pump with a brushless motor (fuelab). Do some research on the difference between the two. The fuelab can be run at reduced speed duty cycle for continuous (longer pump life) use right on the pump, other pumps need an additional controller to do this.

Yeah and that controller is wicked pricey too.. :doh: Like 300 bucks IIRC

For what you are doing, you don't need the add-on electronic fuel pressure regulator. A standard adjustable regulator (Fuelab or any other brand) would be what you are after. The pumps have a built in speed control that allows low speed, high speed, or continuously variable if you have some way to send them a PWM signal. The can be wired to run in reduced speed (as mentioned above) and switch to high speed when the need arises w/ no additional controllers (outside of a cheap Hobbs switch or manual simple switch). The electronic regulator that you are thinking of reads return line pressure and sends a PWM signal to the pump for speed- fuel on demand more or less.
