Walbro Pump for C5 Why cant I find any walbro pumps for my Corvette C5 Z? I remember when I had my camaro, I could easily find a site that sold the Walbro pump. I search westcoastcorvettes, A&A, Thunder Racing, Speed Inc, etc and none show the pump.
Can't I just buy a $99 Walbro 255 on ebay and throw it in there??
I really dont see the need to spend $300 at lingenfelter for their kit....or is it worth it?

Im just wondering why I cant buy the pump alone for $99. ?????? Hopefully someone will chime in that has done a pump install.
I am torn between the LPE pump $299 and the Racetronics Kit $350... 
I like the idea of the racetronics wiring set up (alternator direct, and redundant grounds...) but I looking to save the $50 if the LPE will do the trick for Spraying Nitrous up to 500-525 RWHP

Honestly I would go ahead and spend the extra money for the Racetronix setup. It would really suck if you blew your motor because you decided to save $50 on your fuel system.

Verdad Gallardo Racetronix and LPE use the same physical pump. The difference is in the harness and what not. There is far more to a "safe" N20 setup than just a $300 fuel pump.
Larger injectors, window switch, etc.

its total BS that vendors won't sell you a $99.00 walbro fuel pump and they have to 'rebadge' it as their own and sell it for $299 or more. I've heard some stories about vendors scraping off the PN from the pumps so you can't reorder it from another place...

You get more than just the pump for the 226 dollars. I know because I just bought one. It comes with the hoses and already in the plastic cradle. for me it was easier to just swap the entire unit and do it at night during the week to get teh car running again versus try to pull the pump out the plastic cradle and swap it.

If you take a close look at the Racetronix system in detail you can start to appreciate what goes into it and why.
