Default fuel pump time.....

My factory fuel pump has been really noisy for the past 6 month and I have finally reached my limit, its driving me nuts.

I need a suggestion on what fuel pump to buy. I'm going to do a head/cam swap this week so the pump needs to support between 500 and 600 hp and it needs to be quiet.

Should I go with an internal or external pump? Which lasts longer/works better?

Thanks,
Chris

u gotta pull the tank to get rid of the noisy pump anyways so just put a walbro gss340 in tank. then hot wire it or use a voltage booster if necessary.

ok.....whats the difference between the 255L and the 340?

LS1motorsports.com is the only place I can find that has the 340 and they rate it at "up to 500 HP"

then,

LS1 Speed has the 255L and they rate it at "supports over 600 HP"

I thought the 255L flowed 255 liters/hour and the 340 flowed 340 liters/hour.

If so, then how can the 255L support "over 600" and the 340 be good "up to 500"? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

a gss340 IS a 255lph but high pressure (not the same exactly as the one they sell for mustangs etc)

this pump has gone over 550rw on fi cars so im thinking it can do 600rw (voltage boosted) on a NA car.. thats like 700 flywheel

the 2 sponsors are likely selling the same thing, one talking flywheel and one talking rear wheel.
