All data points are E85. Gasoline is generally not an issue for running out of fuel pump (for a lot of us anyways).

Ok with a rewire....I think that is an important point on these new pumps to really get the rated flow out of them. Not sure how different/important it is on a 1G vs an evo8/9 or X but I guess we will find out. I'm wondering if in 311evo's case he had the pump basically 'rewired' but running at 13.5-14v and thus was able to get so much more out of a standard un-modded 255 than others have.
Either way I'm looking at these pumps as an alternative to doing a BAP ($300-ish) on the stock X fuel pump vs just dropping in a 255($170-ish w/ adapter) and worrying that if I switch to e85 I'll max it out instantly....one of these would be $250-300 to get into an X and hopefully flow enough out of the box for my needs...then if I ever actually put a bigger snail on, do a BAP with it and really start to push one of these higher-flowing new-gen pumps...but w/o the need/complication/cost for a double-pump setup.
