Did have a very informative conversation with Aeromotive. Unfortunately, the space I had available was limited and was geared around the BG pump and filter. I would not be able to make the Areomotive pump and filter fit so I had to opt for the Magnafuel pump and filter set up which fit with a small amount of additional fabrication and fuel line.

what is the noise level like on the Product Engineering 7 vane pump, compared to the megnafuel 500 pump?

Not familiar with the magnafuel, but I have used the PE pumps and they are great. Noise is not significant. Nothing like the Weldon, which are crazy loud (but well worth it in our EFI application, IMHO).

Anyone have an issue with fuel pressure going to 0 on launch? Had no issues using A2000 Aeromotive pump, and using same setup, bought a megnafuel quickstar300 pump/filter combo cause I liked their filter setup. About 3 tenths off the transbrake, rackpak shows fuel pressure spikes down to zero, right back up, then right back to zero then back up, then fine the rest of the run. Same results when checked pressure on both high side and low side location. Sent in fuel pump and regulator to megnafuel, said everything checked out fine, but did put new o-rings in the pump. Reinstalled and had same problem. Put my Aeromotive pump back on with no issues. megnafuel said they had no idea why this would happen. After further investigation, I was told by another major pump manufacturer to stay away from the pump/filter combo's with the vertical filter's as they can cause this. At least it was a problem in my case..

If the gauge is liquid(glycerin) filled, swapped it out for a non liquid filled gauge.

Sounds like bad regulator to me. I have to put a plug in for Aeromotive. I bought a used A1000 pump, filter and regulator in 2004 that has worked flawlessly to this day!

Just replaced a BG500 with a MagnaFuel 500, almost identical brackets and size. only had to drill one hole.
