Default racetronics fuel pump questions

Upgrading my fuel pump since my rearend is out. I hear the racetronics pump kit is the best next to going to like a a1000 external pump etc. Now they sell a whole kit for $229.99 for the pump, wire harness etc. or just $159.99 for just the pump and wire it into my OEM harness. Should i pop for the whole kit or just get the pump?

Whole kit bro! It's the way to go. Also, be sure you leave the bucket/cup in as well after the install or you will burn that baby up!

Give Lonnie @ Lonnies Performance a buzz...He sells them, and is a freakin' genius, when it comes to wiring, installs,etc. He's the one that helped me track down my problem.

And yes, get the whole PnP kit. You wont regret it

Sweet pump I would like to do this kit too, i've notice my pumps acting up.

I got a question since its related to this topic, where do you plug the pump booster interface connector? I read the racetronix site still a little unclear on it.

I run the full racetronix kit and could not be happier with it. It comes with EVERYTHING, even the special glue so you can still use the bucket in the tank. The wiring was a snap with the included harness, and it even has zip-ties to make it nice and tidy. The connectors are all factory quality or better, with lots of heat shrink and great connections.

That is for an optional external pump booster. I dont use one so I did not install that part. The upgraded ground block and terminal connectors was a nice bonus though!
