Default What fuel pump to use for 500hp on e85?

What fuel pump would be best and most importantly most reliable to reach 500hp on e85? I'll be upgrading to ID 1300's to complement my Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator, and Inline pro fuel rail. I am using a GTX3071r with .82 A/R housing. I've been doing a lot of reading on the forums and it sounds like a 340 will be sufficient for my goals. I was going to go with the AEM 340 but someone stated they had 3 fail in the last year. Is the Aeromotive more reliable? Or should I consider other fuel pumps?

Thanks!

Food for thought:

Full Blown also makes a 340LPH fuel pump: http://fullblownmotorsports.com/full...b340-fuel-pump

I'm also a bit curious to this as I'll probably be upgrading my fuel system/delivery at some point when I switch to a tubular manifold. I feel like ID1300's or FID1250 with a 340lph fuel pump may be cutting it a bit close for a low 500whp E85 goal though. I wouldn't want to push the duty cycle too high on the injectors.

Remember to buy fuel pump wire kit. Sos sells one. That may be reason for pump failures in the past not priming

I think it comes down to poor QC, poor manufacturing and if it's not those two, it's generally exhausting the pump from excess heat when the car is low on fuel
