Here is an Edwards pump. Click on E2M28. Then on performance or technical data.

Is this sufficinet to pull down an 80 gallon tank?

Displacement (swept volume) 60 Hz

22.3 ft 3min-1 (38.9 m3h-1)

It looks like you have found an alternative to the Gast 1065. But a quick Google seach came back with a pretty hefty price tag. Yikes!

I'll have to do some math before I absolutely say this pump would evacuate an 80 gallon tank in under two minutes. But based on my experience with the Gast, and I think this one has better performance specs, it should be able to do the job.

That's good news!
Because I purchased it off EBAY last night. It will ship on Monday.

Do you have a filter in the line leading back to your pump?
