So I think the fuel pump problem is fixed.
A100 kept getting hot when I got stuck in traffic.
Got rid of the A1000 and put in a inline 255lph.
Seems to work just fine, plus it draws fewer amps
so with my stock fox Alt it works out better.
Also only took me about an hour to switch it over.
If I do the turbo or Strim later I will just run 2 255lph.

The installation is also alot cleaner.

I'm not a fan of multiple pumps, if one dies you can have adequate pressure but not volume and boom. I would run the A1000 with a controller or buy a MagnaFuel pump for when you boost it.

im guessing the a1000 died cuz it wasnt pushing enough fuel when you were in traffic to keep it cool?

yeah a -6. Just sitting in traffice with heat index over 100* was to much. When it was cooler out I had no issue with it..
