Default Vette bigger fuel pump? 2002

Where can I get a larger fuel pump or something more than stock at a reasonable price. I see them for the 2003/2004 with an upgraded harness but have not seen them with the uprgraded harness for 2002 and below. Been checking with some of the sponsors.
I would like to try the 255 with the plug and play harness.

Racetronix harness and pump or Lingenfelter pump and Racetronix harness...If your not running over 550rwhp you dont need the harness. Just replace the pump and use the factory harness...

Seems most Vette guys prefer the Lingenfelter pump and Racetronix harness. And you can add a Boost a pump for insurance over 550rwhp...

Thanks I have seen the racetronics on thunder racing but did not see the plug and play cable. They had the plug and play for 2003 and up models. Thank you for trying though. Ractronics say its available through there dealers but not seeing any sponsors advertising it. PM`ed harris speed but they did not carry it for a vette.

I think thunder just has it listed wrong. Here's what I got from another site..I would just give thunder a call..I'm pretty sure the wire harness works for 97-2004, its just the 2003 and up can only use the harness and not the fuel pump..

Xtreme HD Fuel pump for the 97-03 C5/Z06 Corvette. Supports up to 650 hp. Racetronix has upgraded the factory Teflon wiring from 16 gauge to 14 gauge silver-plated multi-strand copper wire. This helps reduce voltage drop and at the same time maintains the same level of resistance to fuel solvents as the factory wiring. Generic Walbro kits do not use Teflon wire but rather a much less expensive plastic type. The Racetronix in-tank wiring harness is a one-piece assembly. One end has the Walbro connector and the other is fitted with GM type terminals which are installed directly into the factory connector making it true plug & play. Generic wiring harnesses require cutting and splicing of the factory wiring. Note that this fuel pump will only work in the C5/Z06 Corvette manufactured prior to 11/27/02. !!NEW!!The wiring harness is also available by itself for '03-1/2-04 cars as a plug and play unit for hooking up a boost-a-pump. No pump is currently available for these models. The wiring harness will help take the load off of the stock wiring, which can be damaged due to the extra voltage.

Also A&A Corvettes or ECS(my choice 609 752 0321 ask for Chris or Doug) can hook you up with everything you need...

stock pump is goot to about 520rwhp with a BAP, a 255lph Walbro with a BAP is good to about 750rwhp or so...
