Default which fuel pump

my fuel pump is out in my car, autozone has spectra and airtex, i've heard spectra is the better of the two, but will any of these handle the extra fuel i'll need with a tune, headers, ory, intake? or would the walbro be a better bet?

Do it right the first time. You don't want to spend money on a cheap fuel system and later down the road having to upgrade your fuel system again because your engine isnt getting the fuel it needs. It all depends on your future mods. If your planning on getting heads, cams, etc, in the future then do it right.

I can set you up with a high performance Racetronix kit that comes complete with hotwire kit for less than you will pay for a parts store pump.

Feel free to call if you would like to discuss your combination.

Racetronix uses the 255 Walbro correct?

Racetronix uses a version of the Walbro but it is highly tested and a direct replacement in the factory setup in an FBody.

The Bosch is a huge pump that is not meant for this type of application. And it only slightly outflows a Racetronix setup.
