I have a basically brand new oem one if you are interested and it will work with your set up. Thought my pump went out but turned out to be my coolant sensor shutting my car off

DW301 is what you need. It's $150 straight from DW.

I just installed the Racetronix kit (255 Walbro with the direct hotwire). It was right at $200 shipped and supplies my 500rwhp setup with plenty of fuel.

So I went with the DW301...I got it and it smells like gas...is that normal? Do they test the pump with gas before shipping it out?

I don't remember, but I wouldn't worry about it. Hopefully they do test them.

I don't remember either. Was the box or paperwork stained or saturated? I def hook it up to a battery for a quick test prior to install, but I test that on every part I install (habit of being a former flat rate line tech).

We test every pump before shipping for flow and current at 40psi and 80psi. We do our best to dry the pumps before shipping but sometimes there is some fluid left over. Not to worry though, we test with n-heptane per SAE standard, not gasoline. Also, the pumps are heat sealed into a poly bag so no fluid should escape.
