For some reason the LT1 kits use a little bit different pump, and it says that on their website....maybe it is in fact the same pump but labeled differently since they are used by GM as replacements..
The Walbro 255 pump is the basic pump used in their kits, I have one for the GN and the 89 TTA, and they are the same, and looked to be the same as the one I got from them for my 95 TA..
But I'd say ask them to make sure...I'm sure it would work with a slight modification if need be, all of the harnesses and hangers are essentially the same for GM cars/trucks.

They aren't the same and it isn't the 'standard' Walbro pump. The LT1's pump has an offset pickup. The LT1 Racetronix kit has a Walbro 255 with this offset pickup. I actually got a standard Walbro 255 (which is what the 3rd gens use) to fit in my bucket, but I had to do some bucket modifications. Also, you could just strap it to the arm and get rid of the bucket. If you do the latter, you run the risk of starving the fuel pump make hard sharp turns with not very much gas in the tank. All in all, they can fit and work fine, but it takes a little extra work. Hope this helps.

Ah yes, that is exactly right...I remember that being a little different, just couldn't put my finger on it...thats why I stated the above with some skeptisism as in not sure..
