Default which fuel pump is easiest to install

im looking at 400rwhp and 550-600rwhp n2o wet kit... so i basically need a good pump.. tho the stock 28.8 injectors should be okay.. so all i need is the easiest intank pump to install that will support that power.. all these "GENERIC" or some mods required pumps are scaring me.

Well pretty much the only plug and play solution is the Racetronix setup. Other than that, the mods aren't that bad to get the generic pumps to work.

I went with the Racetronix setup with the wireharness and all. Very happy no problems, with start up or prs dropping off. Steady 62-59 psi at WOT. Great way to go plug and play no cutting of the fuel bucket, or any need to worry about low fuel levels.

so its plug and play no mods huh... whos got the best price? links anyone? i notice the phords all have plug and play pumps for about 120$ at a local shop, i ask the guy if he could get something like that for a camaro, and he said he hadn't seen one that didn't require mods, he went on to say he'd had more ppl buy pumps for maros then stangs, so glad to see there is one i wont have to mess with to get to work.

Thanks guys! It's threads like this which add to the 'satisfaction factor' in what we do here at Racetronix. Manufacturer's usually hear from customers when there is a problem so it is nice to see positive stuff every once in a while.

At this time yes. W/O the harness the pump takes a performance hit which defeats the purpose of installing a HP pump. We want to make sure that the pump will perform as well as possible so it is sold as a complete system. Considering what other HP parts cost this system is one of the least expensive items you will have to purchase. Fuel and oil are the lifeblood of your motor. Think of a good fuel system as an insurance policy for your motor. Buy something good from the start and you won't have to look back.

Depending on your BSFC you may get away with our system as is. If you need more fuel volume you can always add a BAP as a PnP option to our harness.
