other pump options

other pump options I recently swapped an LS1 into my '97 LT1 T/A. During the swap I swapped the stock LT1 fuel pump for a LT1 Racetronix pump and hotwire kit. I got the swap running last week. I took the car out on its first post swap drive yesterday and after about 10 miles the car died on me after I took a turn. I could not immediately get it started, I waited a few minutes and got it going again. I decided to head back home and on the way back the same thing happened several more times, until I was a block away from my house and it completely gave up on me. I can no longer hear the pump priming and I have confirmed that I still have power to it.
When I installed the pump I completely drained the tank of old fuel, and note that the tank was very clean. Now my question is this, should I risk buying another racetronix/walboro pump or is there any other options out there? I would hate to keep throwing $150 out the window with no warranty everytime it goes out.

Have you posted on our www.racetronix.info forum?
It is VERY rare for a pump to die like that, especially given that you seem to have installed it correctly. Typically early failures are due to installation error.
