Help me choose between these two pumps!

the selected pump will be fueling a built 355 with a 125 shot of N20(maybe up to 150)....I would like to get rid of the mechanical pump along with the small "helper" carter electric pump in the rear in favor of just one big enough electric pump thats good enough for the motor and a 150 shot MAX. These are the two pumps I have in mind:
holley prt# 12-150
aeromotive prt# 11213

I'm having my stock tank sumped and will be using 1/2"(-8an) steel braided feed and return lines....will have to weld an AN fitting on top of the tank for the return line though. The car is NOT a daily driver by a long shot, not because its too radical for the street, it just not my DD....so that is one of the reasons why i don't mind getting rid of the mech. pump, so will either of these pumps be a solid choice?? advantages and disadvantages of either are welcomed too

P.S- I don't want the bother of running a whole separate fuel system for the nitrous, i'm not that big into nitrous and a 150 shot is as far as i'll go....if i need more i'll consider a turbo build.

Re: Help me choose between these two pumps!

I would go with aeromotive. I have had good luck with them. You could modify your stock sending/pump unit to use the "Out" line for return. I would have a 2 port sump pan welded on. Put a plug in one of them, that way if your nos system causes a lean condition or drop in pressure, you can always switch easily to a dedicated fuel system for your nos. My .02.
Good luck!
