    I do not have a B&G system syzer here, but if you go to the B&G website they have an online system sizer wheel you can plug numbers into. This should answer your question about pump size....
    Good luck.

    thats a lot of baseboard for 1 zone !

    I imagine the Delta-T's will be extremely high regardless of pump choice.

    008

    99% chance the 007 would be fine. 008 may cause noise issues with the high head.
