Help me pick my fuel pump please

Not sure which fuel pump i should get. Everyone on here talks up Walboro so i guess i'll get that probably.

Is this the right one here? I just want to get one that is a straight install. I dont want to get something that is gonna be a pain in the *** to work with. I found a couple below.

Walboro 100 bucks

Tre Performance 80 bucks

I dont care about brand names. I just want something cheap and easy to work with. Someone advise me please.

Thunder Racing has a Holley fuel pump application for a good price, which is a repackaged Walbro 255. It serves me well with my measly 425 RWHP, and is not nearly as expensive as the Racetronix pump. Just be sure you have rock solid ground and feed wire to the pump. I used 10 gage wire and ran a dedicated ground & power wire from the front of the car's fuel pump relay all the way back to the pump. The biggest key to keeping it reliable is the ground wire, especially at the interface through the sending unit. I silver soldered the ground wire inside the sending unit, then brazed a wiring stud to the exterior of the sending unit so that there would be no question as to the quality of the electrical connection. That is what makes Racetronix such a good package is that they address the wiring issue. You can do the same thing if you are handy with wires for less cost. However if you do not own a soldering iron, and you want plug & play, get the harness from Racetronix. It looks nice and solid.
