Walbro pumps arent bad. I recently bought an inline walbro, dont remember the model # though. I think it was like 715 or something, they only make 2 I believe. It will support over 600 HP and its around $150 or less.
My car goes 10`s on it and theres plenty to spare
Call ramchargers and ask about it

i'm affraid to use an in-line pump after what happened with these two.

$450 down the drain in a year on pumps isn't worth it. i'd like to just get one pump that can handle everything if it's possible.

Jeff,
I just put a Walbro 255 LPH pump in my Rustang and am happy with it so far.I don't know if that will support the H.P. Leveks that you are going to achieve/have.(They are really never done Right?? ). But like I said above, So far so good. Just one piece of info for ya.I could have bought a walbro pump cheaper than what I paid for mine.I bought a BBK. Then it shows up with Walbro written all over the pump in a BBK package. Lesson learned, Do not pay BBK an extra $20 to buy a walbro pump.Just buy the walbro to begin with.

Definitely go with a Walbro gss340. Works very well.

Detroit Speedworks usually has them in stock at a terrific price.

Check the GP section at LS1.com, their are multiple shops selling the Walbro340 for $99, cant beat that price. Many are doing a dual intank setup. Good luck
