Default over 500rwhp what pump?

As of right now my car makes 380rwhp, I am getting it tuned on the bottle soon which should put a little over 500, maybe close to 550rwhp. I am needing a fuel pump that can handle that, Also didnt want to spend tons of money on one either. I didnt know anyone could help me out on a pump I need to look for thanks.

If you plan on staying around 550rwhp or less, then I recommend a single Racetronix kit with pug-n-play wiring harness.

Beware fo some of the universal kits that have problems with pump reliability & rubber hoses etc.

I keep the Recetronix kits in stock.

Feel free to contact me if I can be of additional help.

Yes that is just a standard pump has not provisions for your stock setup. Get a direct replacement pump made for your car. Lonnie keeps them in stock as do I.

Every car seems to be a little different, but most NA setups are run rather lean so you may be ok with a good single pump.

For example a 550rwhp supercharged motor at 11.5:1 AF ratio is a lot worse than 600rwhp NA at 13:1 AF ratio.

Feel free to call if you like.

Yes they are Walbro 255's, but there are quite a few different models of that pump. All are not created equal.

The pump is not the only consideration. The mounting accessories, wiring & hoses etc., are what makes it a good kit.

I saw a lot of your racetronix kits are around $230 or around that, I just dont understand, being a walbro 255 is $100 new. Im not knocking on you all or anything, just if the hoses and mounting hardware is what makes over a $100 difference i dont understand... Is there more that comes with your alls kits, that I just dont see?

This is the next thing I got to look at purchasing. I am still running the factory fuel pump with my set-up. The car has less then 10k miles on it so that is why I did not change the Fuel pump when I did my build.

Your paying the extra $$$ for the plug and play from lonnie and the customer support. I got a dual pump set up from him and had to solder the stock wires (that I cut for my boost a pump that didn't cut it) back together. All his stuff pluged right up to the stock harness and has yet to drop 1 psi of pressure. I spent 600 on my set up and I would do it again with out hesitation.

Yes, I include the wiring harness (hot wire kit) & various other options for that money.

The base pump with hose, sock, mounting kit & internal wiring is around $149.

Instead of speculating over this any further, you can call me & get all of your questions answered in a matter of minutes. I can be reached from 9:00am-11:00pm eastern time including weekends at 724-322-8505.

Racetronix ~150 plus ~60 if you want the hotwire kit (recommended).
Walbro ~100
