If you put a small restriction on he venture you could easily still fill the bucket without having such a large drop in fuel flow. Either the E85 alone or E85 with venture will work to be honest. Venture in place is ideal, but it really doesn't need to be flowing as much as it does. Also, it should be noted either the FFTEC or E85 pump with Venturi will max out the HPFP, so really any of these solutions won't be the limit. At $400 less though, the Walbro is looking awfully attractive.
Thank you for the reply and the explanation, it helped my understanding of the different options.
