I do think Weldon is a better pump but back in the day the A1000 is what was recommended by the shop helping with my EFI installation and setup. I do have a Weldon pump in my supercharged C5 Z06 along with a Boost-A-Pump... again a modulated controller that increases the output of the pump as demand increases. The last thing you want while under boost is fuel starvation. As i understand the BAP uses pulse modulation to control the pump and boost pressure when needed.

All a Boost-a-pump does is jack up the voltage, the ECU still modulates the grounding cycle. A better choice for boosted engines is the MSD voltage booster that is programmable to increase fuel pump voltage depending on manifold pressure. This helps increase fuel pump life by not operating at high voltage continuously like a boost a pump does.
I have two on my GT one for each pump and they do not increase fuel pump voltage until I am over 12 PSI of manifold pressure.
