Question What's the best route for upgrading Fuel Pump??

I am wanting to upgrade my fuel pump and was wondering what route to take. I'm considering running nitrous or forced induction on my car which has ported heads and cam. Is it best to upgrade the stock pump or add an inline pump??? Which pump should I go with????

Thanx in advance

Thats what I have and it seems to work fine with 34# injectors and my stroker. I have the intank direct replacment and I thought the install really pretty easy although I have heard some horror stories about it.

If you want the perfect fit replacement and the harness upgrade, go with the Racetronix kit. Otherwise, the regular Walbro 255 works but it's a bit large for the plastic can and the sock that comes with the pump won't fit the can either. Make sure to buy a new sock.

I used the Racetronix kit too and loved that it was a hi flow direct replacement for our cars. Racetronix is the only way to go.

Just did this in Sept, and it was indeed a perfect fit and pretty easy to do. Outstanding kit that Racetronix Offers.

racetronix and walbro use the same internals.
