I would go with the Racetronix fuel pump kit. My friend and I made an access panel and installed the pump in 2 hours. I still have to do the wiring of the hot wire loom but they include everything needed to run the kit. They even supply a paper clip for one part.

I was trying to stay under $200 since my father is helping with this. Does it have to be purchased with the harness kit or will just the pump assembly kit work?

You can purchase the pump assembly alone from Thunder Racing for way under $200.00.

I am looking a tit on the TR site and am confused about the differences in the P&P software and not having? Is this just for the wiring or is that included in just the pump kit?

We have similar kits which are used for older 'pump on a stick' style senders like the Buick GN, Syclone, Typhoon, 3rd gen Camaro and Mustang for around $99 at regular price.

Curious about racetronix pump for the 98 LS1. How longs this pump last on average? Mines starting to whine pretty often when it gets hot so I think its time to replace it. Also how much is just the whole fuel sending unit? without the wiring harness. Your site doesnt say or show it without the harnesses (or i'm just an idiot and overlooked it) thanks!
