What other upgrades are needed to run just one of these pumps in tank? Do I need to do any wiring upgrades? Thinking this may be a great pump for my nitrous build.

You would have to upgrade the bulkhead, racetronix has all the parts pretty cheap.

Not quite...refer to the following page for everything you need from Racetronix (chart near the bottom)

http://racetronix.com/press-release/...ing-harnesses/

In addition to the parts from Racetronix, ideally you should convert to a return system with an aftermarket regulator mounted near the rails

As stated before you'll need the GT280 bulkhead (and wiring) and a proplerly designed return system. The 3 parts linked above are offered by Racetronix in a single kit that's less expensive than buying everything individually. The pump isolator will need the bottom 1.5" cut off. You can retain the jet pump system by modifying the pump.

Got a link to an affordable aftermarket regulator?

Is this still do-able with just the Walbro 400 in tank pump and the Racetronix hotwire kit?

there are a lot to choose from:
Mallory
Aeromotive
Edelbrock
Magnafuel

If I had to buy a new one I would likely buy the SX Performance 15404

Thanks. Would it be a terrible idea to not go return style and just do the in tank Walbro 400 with the Racetronix hotwire upgrade?

I know people who have done it with success but Racetronix says it will overpower your stock regulator. This could lead to premature pump failure and/or issues at idle.

I decided to go with a return system because it gives you the option to boost reference your fuel pressure

Thanks for the help. Remember, my setup is a nitrous application. Only reason I posted in here is because this pump seems like it would be a great alternative to going with the Racetronix pump/hotwire kit because this way gives me more room to grow.

You would need a return line as mention above.

Why not? Those are the same parts I listed.

Racetronix does not offer a kit using the 267 pump, only the the 340lph pumps. With that being said, the only difference would be the internal wiring which could be cut and spliced together.

I am going to run one of the E85 pumps (450lph?) on gasoline with the aeromotive pump controller so its not running all out while cruising. Should be more than enough for my LM7/S400 build.

No different than the 255 that Racetronix modifies. Racetronix uses a threaded fitting, but the factory presses the fitting in, so why not do the same? Carefully cut the small brass barb out of the stock pump. DO NOT pry or pull on it. Drill a 11/64" hole in the top of the Walbro pump, opposite of the pump outlet, symmetrical to the pressure relief port - make sure no plastic drops into the pump. You only need to drill about 1/8" deep to breach the plastic. Press the brass barb into the hole - I used a 1/8" deep well socket. I have a few pics that I can post later.

Pump? Nobody said anything about including a pump. You can purchase the bulkhead, vapor connector, and hotwire harness as a single kit: http://www.racetronix.biz/customkiti...?kc=FPWK-017WX

Thanks!

I just looked at what I bought and forgot about the filter, tube, clamps, etc. Here's the entire list:

Either did I, if you look at the kit you posted its for use with a 340 lph style pump, not the 267 which has a unique intank connector. That's why mentioned the cut/splice above.

You're right, you do have to cut and splice the connection for the Walbro 400. But that doesn't change the fact that the 3 parts you listed separately are available as a single kit for less money, which is my point, and is what I posted.
