i think NOS makes a pretty good out-of-tank fuel pump.

Walbro makes a really nice pump. I know a few people running them with no troubles.

Both Holley and Granatelli make direct replacement in tank fuel pumps that can support up to 800 horsepower. I have no personal experience with these but I know that they offer them. They list both of them on Summit Racing's online catalog. Worth checking into.

I have a Holley external in-line pump. 230lph @ 45psi.
I chose external so I wouldn't have to drop the tank to change it.
Mine does get quite loud at times. I paid $143 at summit 2 years ago for it.

Jegs sells an MSD in-line for $76.99, not too bad.

I think Walbro is the cheapest. They make it for other companies and the other companies mark it up. I have a Walbro high output tank in my pump and it works well for me. I installed it because the pump was old and when I was taking out the tank, I decided to do that at the same time. I didn't want to take the tank out again nor did I want to cut a hole in the floorpan.

AFAIK, Walbro supplies the pump with a different sticker on it depending on who buys it.

I have the 255 pump and so far no problems

Jeff I have had the Holley 255 in tank pump on my car for 2 years with no problems. Are you looking for a internal pump or external pump?
