is it worth buying the racetronix pump or just get the $100.00 walbro?

My Racetronix was installed when my motor was forged 3 1/2 years ago. It's a very impressive pump. It is of military quality. I can speak to that from an electronics standpoint ... retired Army Master Sergeant here. As the 1st Cavalry Division Artillery Communications Chief, I was directly responsible for many installations of tactical communications equipment, including Colonel Raymond Odierno's (now a 3-star general and 2nd in command in Iraq) HMMWV (HUMVEE) with 100 amp alternator kit and associated wiring. From an electronics standpoint, the wiring and electrical components and operational reliability is of top notch material and as good or better than what was provided through military channels. *I also was the Apache Training Brigade Communications Chief and worked on the avionics/electronics for their SINCGARS radio equipment on OH-58D's, AH-64 Longbow's, UH-60's, MH-60 Electronic Warfare Intercept birds, AH-1's, CH-47's, UH-1's, etc ... about every rotary aircraft made.*You 10th mountain boys at Fort Drum need to know your territory before you try to dispute what is and is not of miltary grade. The Racetronix fuel pump is a better overall pump system hands-down.

The pump in the F98 system is a standard 255LPH HP Walbro pump. What makes this pump assembly unique are the parts surrounding it, ease of installation and functionality.
The pump in the F99 system is not a standard Walbro pump. It is modified and again the pump assembly is unique because of the parts surrounding it.
Why are we arguing semantics here? This is like trying to say one Chevy motor is like another. Sure the block may be the same but it is the parts you put into/on it which really make it what it is.
Yes there are always cheaper ways to go about doing just about any HP mod. For some people the small savings is justified and for some it is not. Our fuel pumps systems are one of the cheapest yet most important mods you will ever do to your vehicle so why people make such a big deal over a few $ to make sure everything is 100% is questionable. For those people who do not want to run around gathering parts, wasting time, gas and shipping we offer a no compromise complete quality plug and play solution.
