Fuel Pumps

What pumping solutions is everyone using on their higher HP cars? My car has the Aeromotive Eliminator pump externally mounted under the rear fascia. After receiving the car and driving it one day here in Vegas in 108 degree heat for about 20 minutes around town, the car experienced a form of vapor lock. We assume it is do to the pump getting extremely hot and causing this. We switched the pump with a new one and the same thing happened within about 20 minutes. So I was wondering what pumps others are using and if anyone else has experienced something similar, or is this something only a car in Vegas, Phoenix or some other hot place would experience. We are thinking maybe a dual or triple intank setup is needed for areas like Vegas with the extreme heat in the summer.

Are you running full voltage to the pump all the time or are you using a pump controller?

No pump controller is being used.

Regardless of what aeromotive says, that pump needs a controller if you drive it on the street. Theres no reason to be pumping full volume while stuck in traffic on the strip. The pump gets pretty hot since it doesnt have the luxury of being cooled down by fuel like an in tank pump.

Twin Walbros in the tank in this Texas heat is what I am running.
Call ART for high HP fuel systems.
