Default Dead pump

I have a dead stock pump and i need a new one.
is there a pump that will handle 400 rwhp for about the price of a stock pump, or should i stick with a stock pump.
BTW i have a barestock Lt1 In my 94 Firebird Formula.

Racetronix. Don't have to mod anything for it to work (plug and play). They are less then a GM factory replacment and can support more HP.

is a walbro 255l a direct fit or what?
i dont want to drop 250 bucks on that pump becuase i really dont need to support that much hp.
But will a plain walbro255l support a pretty much stock ls7 or maybe one with a little tune?

The most you will save by getting the Walbro pump is about $125. In addition you will still be faced with using the 'just adequate' voltage to the stock pump's existing wiring.

IMO the PNP kit is the best value as it comes with a complete parts kit right down to a paper clip in addition to excellent instructions most mechanically inclined can read and understand during the install. The wiring kit supplied with the PNP kit is powered directly from the battery and all wiring is superior in size to the stock wiring so you'll never have to worry about losing voltage to the pump.

Don't know if the links still exist with instructions for just replacing the stock pump with a Walbro sans the PNP kit. Might try a search.

Call Nasty's for the pump. Maybe they will supply instructions for just a pump.
