Default Alcohol with Aeromotive A1000 Electric pump

Anyone useing an Electric pump with alchol?.. Im looking to pump from the fuel cell in the rear- #10 line supply and # 8 return.
Its a 642 hp sbc carb will be APD. Im running a complete aeromotive a1000 system now which can do alcohol. On gas its rated at 1200hp.
Doing some math... with SBC 642 on methenol should have a BSFC no worse then 1.3 as calculating should be somewhere around 139g per hr.
The A1000 pumps 900 lbs of fuel per hr at 8psi... sounds like it should be plenty.
Mounting a belt driven pump is an option but considerable fab work needed and alot more time involved (=missed race)
Any info would be appreciated.

thanks
Keith
