Fuel pumps prices

I found the OEM fuel pump (AC Delco #25160334) for 180.79 at RockAuto (www.rockauto.com). All my local vendors want $292 for the exact same pump 9 I have written quotes). Has anyone had experience with this vendor? Fuel pump plus filter screen and 2 day shipping $217. This is a great price.
TIA

Re: Fuel pumps prices

Why not just get an aftermarket one for less? Racetronix is a vendor on the board and will cost you $100 less than stock.

Re: Fuel pumps prices

I absolutely LOVE my racetronix 255lph kit. Can not beat the price, the quality, or the ease of install/factory fit.

Re: Fuel pumps prices

Thanks guys. I did a search and found that Racetronixs was an alternative but I collect Chevy's and like to keep OEM parts on the vehicles.

Re: Fuel pumps prices

Ok. Do have have to do any mods to the bucket that holds the pump?
Is the opening of the bucket difficult?
Is this truly plug and play? I do not want any wire cutting or fuel bucket alterations. I want to plug and go.
TIA
Addendum:
It sounds like the only good way to go is to buy the wiring kit with the pump. From reading the stock wiring is not sufficient to ran the pump for maximum gains because of the voltage and ampage required.
I never race this vehicle. I barely drive her 1000 miles a year. I am not sure I need this added fuel pump performance. Don't get me wrong the complete kit looks like a lot of fun to install and I am somewhat tempted. My modifications days are over. When I was in my teens and 20's (about 30 years ago) I loved to mod vehicles. I also discovered that with each mod the uniqueness of the vehicle created problems when solving problems. This is another thread material....

Re: Fuel pumps prices

you have to open the bucket, change the pump and cut/crimp 2 wires. then glue the bucket back together and be done with it.

Order the Racetronix kit
You get a wiring harness that does not require any splicing.
A new flex tube.
A PROPER 30 micron filter sock for the bucket etc...
email support@racetronix.com and we will send you instructions.
