Default Fuel Pump Question

I am wanting to replace my stock fuel pump. I dont really need a racetronix for my setup, so is there any pump only replacements, without the sending unit, that I can buy? Thanks...

My pump on my 98 went out and I put a walboro 255 in it. It seemed to be a very good pump. Whatever you do don't get a non-name brand just to save 30-40 bucks I did that the first time and it lasted like 2weeks and I had to do it all over again. Hope this helps GL

Im concerned that the 255 lph will be to much for my setup. I only have headers, and an aftermarket ls1 lid. Also, you think if i did use the walbro it would effect my gas milage?

The Racetronix kit does not include the sender... only the pump, wiring & sock.

I have these in stock if interested. I also have stock replacements with sender as well.

Feel free to give me a call.

Thanks Lonnie. I'll give you a call when I've narrowed my options and am closer to a purchase date.

I just would rather change it voluntarily than have it go out on me at an inopportune time.

Your fuel pressure regulator takes care of this, the excess capacity is not an issue, and fuel economy will not change with only a change in pump.
AFA when to change it, you can always wait until it strands you 50 miles from home. Your call.

I wasnt having any problems with mine but i changed the pump and put in the harness also. I am installing a cam and stock 243's and just didnt want it starving the motor. I wouldnt worry about it unless you are planning more stuff to do.
