Stock fuel pump question

I have a question, i think my fuel pump is crapping out, I was looking at the racetronix fuel pump. Are they any good?
How many LPH are the stock pumps? the racetronix ones are 255 LPH.
Thanks.

The racetronix pumps are considered the best option for these cars because of their high performance and ease of installation.

The stock pump is considered ok for your basic modifications, but a lot of them tend to crap out. If you start running big lift cams, nitrous, or forced induction then it's pretty much a requirement to get a better one.

Re: Stock fuel pump question

Id be interested to know what the stock fuel pump flows as well. Anyone? I have a Bosch 0580 254 910 pump thats rated as a 350hp pump and flows 130 litres per hour @ 5 Bar, and im starting to wonder whether this is gonna be enough. I have a '95 LT1 designated for a custom install and the only mods will be free mods, full custom coated headers and home made cai. Do I need a bigger pump?

I think the racetronix pump is the same as the walbro. I got my walbro 255 lph pump for 135 from ramchargers. Racetronix has a nice little kit though.

Re: Stock fuel pump question
