Racetronix fuel pump unreliable?

Racetronix fuel pump unreliable?
I searched but all I could find was people installing them and stuff.
A friend of mine told me not to install a racetronix pump in my car because it would "intermittently cut off." Now im worried because I want to run a 150 shot on the car and I dont want my fuel to randomly shut off because that would mean disaster for my motor.
Has anyone heard of this?
i heard that a racetronix pump is just a walboro pump and if thats the case im gonna laugh in his face because he constantly talks about how awesome his walboro pump set up is.

Yes racetronix is a walbro pump inside of a racetronix housing, the housing is just to make it a direct replacement. I'm fairly certain racetronix is the only company that modifies the walbro to have the venturi nipple. Without the venturi nipple you have to cut a hole in your fuel bucket to allow the fuel to enter, and that's were you run into problems. Racetronix is the best direct replacement hands down.

I have one and its been reliable enough to drive 110 miles every day for a year now without any problems. Im pretty sure that 7lbs of boost on a stock engine with 180k on it running 60lb/hr injectors turning 6000rpm would let me know if there were any "intermittent" problems.

OP: If all you read about are installs and not much else than that only means one or two things...... No one needs help fixing one, or no one has a problem with them. if there were problems with a product; trust me you'd find it on here.
Kinda like searching for problems with McLeod clutches. I've never heard problems with their clutches (but then again, I'm hardly in the trans section because my clutch has been problem free for 5 years.)

I commute 40+ miles daily with no issues.
I can't understand why your friend would brag about a fuel pump setup that takes away his ability to run less than a 1/4 tank but provides the same amount of fuel (unless he runs a dual or triple walbro). There's your ammo to laugh in his face.

Ive had 3 cars with walboros one being from racetronix, All of them have left me stranded other then my one racetronix pump. I dont know if it was just a chance but the one i got from him worked. But needless to say im done with walboros.
