Guys...for upgrading the fuel pump, being that my car is just getting an STS kit and motron 60#injectors and nothing race fancy

should i just get an in-line walbro fuel pump or should i upgrade and buy the whole kit that goes in the tank?

or do i just need to upgrade my injectors to the motron 60# and the stocker will be fine?

What kinda power level are you looking to hit? I would deffinatly rec. the intank pump over an inline helper as that is a patch for a problem and you can not pull more fuel than the stock pump with feed.

The pump you listed should do you just fine. Just installed another one last weekend and it worked great for the person. He was over 500 @ the wheels.
I also run it and have no problems. Cant say more about that kit but it is the way to go for a plug and play system. Easy install! and Works Great!

As for your injectors Go with the Motoron 60,s Stockers will not cut it.
