Default Fuel Pump for 98 LS1 conversion to LS7???

Most of the fuel pumps I see listed are for 99 and up. What is the difference from the 98's? Also in-line or in tank? I do not mind pulling the tank if an in tank is best. Also can you recomend a good fuel pump that is reliable and one that will have all the wiring for a plug and play? Thanks for your help.

I don't know about the others, but Racetronix is a plug and play in tank pump. Working good on my setup.

not really no.

Paid 115 for my Walbro 255 on sale online. EXTREMELY easy wiring. And i hate wiring too, and it was still easy. The Racetronix you have to run extra wires to the engine bay I think. Sounds like a hassle, for a SLIGHT gain in upper rpm.

When I saw the kit for the Racetronix it did look like a lot more wiring than the Wallboro. Is the Wallboro a direct replacement with no modifications to the tank? Also does anyone know the difference from the 98 and the 99 and up cars. I know the 98's came with a metal tank but did not know the pumps were any different.
