25.01.2022 3 new pumps - set up, flow tested and heading out to racers Michael Marriott Mark Brew Josh McClennan Spinozzi Racing

21.01.2022 An interesting interview with Aeromotive President Steve Matusek today talking to Brett from ADRP. Many thanks to Brett for the kind words. Were excited to be distributing the Aeromotive gear pumps in Australia, because they really are a step up in performance from other pumps. Itll be interesting to see what comes out of their acquisition of Waterman and the combined technology of both companies.

18.01.2022 Racers.. be aware that if you have an older Waterman pump that hasn't been modified, you potentially have a serious fuel delivery problem. Here's the result of one of these pumps before and after I modified it. The flow from the un-modified pump goes flat after 9000 RPM as a result of cavitation. It loses more than 1.6 GPM ! After being properly modified, it picked up 1.63 GPM between 9000 and 10,000 RPM and the Total Loss between 8000 and 10,000 goes from more than 8.30% to ...around 0.5%. So, the issue is that if you're using a pump like this and using more than 9000 RPM, the fuel system either has to be massively rich through most of the rev range and you're losing a heap of performance, or if you jet it right through the rev range you're probably going to lift the blower at high RPM. The latest Watermans, Aeromotives and Rage pumps don't suffer from this issue. See more

18.01.2022 We have a full range of Aeromotive Gear Pumps in stock now: 16.0, 17.0, 18.0, 19.5, 21.5 GPM Alcohol pumps & 32.0 GPM Nitro pumps (all @ 8000 Engine RPM). They come as just the bare pump and then you add the parts you need for your application.. pick your inlet and outlet size, add a fuel shut-off and distribution blocks and the mounting adapter and youre good to go. Heres some pics and a quick video of a pump I assembled and flow tested today for Jason Maggs :

14.01.2022 Added the video and it deleted the pics :( Here they are:

12.01.2022 Congratulations to Westernationals winners: John Zappia and Craig Glassby. Both cars running Aeromotive fuel pumps and tuned with Alky Pro software.

12.01.2022 Spinozzi Racing fuel system being flow tested at Greg Gowers Competition Fuel Systems by Mark Brew of Proforce.. This testing will be used in conjunction with Alky Pro Software.. It has been a valuable day and very much appreciate by Spinozzi Racing as the team works towards Slammer ...

08.01.2022 A long time between posts, so thought I would put up some pics of these 3 Aeromotive pumps heading out of the workshop this week. The first is destined for a very serious burnout car.. hence the screw on inlet fitting. The second is a Top Alcohol pump. The third is for an Outlaw Nitro car.

07.01.2022 Thankyou to Greg Gower of Competition Fuel Systems and developer of Alky Pro Software for his knowledge and experience on this amazing fuel flow bench in conjun...ction with Alky Pro . Thank you to Mark Brew of pro force . As well as marks work and experience he also supplys Spinozzi Racing with a lot of the teams high end race components. It was a great few days thank you .

03.01.2022 Ive set up this page as a separate point of contact for Australian racers from the Alky Pro software page. Competition Fuel Systems offers Fuel Injection Flow Testing services and select injection parts, including Crawford jets, nozzles, etc.. and as of 2017 we will be the Australian distributor for the Aeromotive Gear pumps, and will have a range of pumps and parts in stock. Ill add more details over the coming days, and will be adding flow testing pics, videos, technical advice, etc whenever possible. Please feel free to ask questions or just say Hi :)

01.01.2022 If you buy a Hoffer turbine flowmeter from RacePak, it will have a calibration number (K Factor) etched onto the bottom. I sometimes see un-marked flowmeters as shown. These are sold by Hoffer as an industrial unit that falls within a flow range and so they use a generic K-Factor, which makes them less accurate for our use and theres no way to know what number to put into your Data Logger software to get an accurate reading. We can calibrate them accurately on our Fuel Flow Bench using Methanol. In the photo with the gauges you can see that after calibration, the RacePak screen is within a hundreth of a gallon per minute compared to the Macnaught meter.
