Spend the money on a Ricks tank with proper in tank pumps with a Vaporworks controller. Alot of those external pumps are great for supporting big hp but usually only for drag cars that don't run extended periods of time.....If you are just doing a drag car ignore what I posted.

Glad someone with the experience came in to post what I didn't want to (as I haven't had this first hand). Ricks and Vaporworks are the way to go. Is 1500hp flywheel or rear wheel expectation? For flywheel you can likely get away with two CTS-V pumps. All comes down to the setup (injectors, fuel used, etc). If going for that rear wheel, you'll likely want to step up to a 485 walbro configuration (3+ pumps) and work with Carl C at vaporworx to manage the control. That will be my eventual upgrade on my car when I find the limits of the dual V pump setup
