I have the 'plus' system here http://www.racetronix.com/RX-F99-FPKG-2.html
$222, it was on the car when I got it, but it seems like a good pump compared to stock.
I'd also look into the whole fuel pump module, the pump only may or may not be the answer.
The module is the pump, sender, the bucket it sits in, and a regulator. You might be better off with a whole module to eliminate one of the other parts being bad.

Ok, replaced fuel pump, plugs and wires. And recap - have replaced MAF sensor, TPS switch and new fuel filter with in the last month. Runs great and responds to acceleration great, that is once you get it started. Turn the key on and wait for the pump to build pressure and crank and crank and crank and then it will start, but sluggusly. Right when it decides to start you have to get into the peddle and rev it a bit and then it idles perfectly at 750rpm. If you don't give it gas right after it starts it struggles to stay running. It is like something needs to calibrate when it engines hits a higher rpm. ONCE it does, it runs great, it is just the starting that is bad. Is there something to with electronic timing that could be bad? Should be able to turn key and that baby fire right up so my guess with experience I have would be something to do with the timing but know nothing about this system. Is there something that that can be replaced that syncs (times) the coils are something to the effect. There are no codes other than the rear O2's cause no cats, and light is on for the radiator due to corrosion according to the forums. Any ideas from anyone.
