Areomotive stealth 340
I don't see why the one for the 92-96 corvette wouldn't work. IIRC the factory pumps are the same. It's only the sending unit that is different. That's the one I would buy b

I think what lonnie is talking abt (and if anyone knows abt fuel pumps, buckets, etc its lonnie) is the fact that aeromotive uses a plugin in to the pump where the brass pins r located thus having stray voltage running ard inside ur fuel tank fyi the # i beleive is 11340 for a ctr in tank i use one but i shrinktubed everything still proly not the right way 2 do it but.........i wld listen to lonnie he knows his stuff when it comes to anything fuel.

Lonnie's Performance made it PERFECTLY clear that even with the racetronix kit the connector in the top of the sending unit is what is not up to the current needed. One tiny little piece of the original wiring system, we manage to get a little more through it by upgrading the wiring on both sides but this pump is just asking too much.
I am sure people have done it.
To me though this is the riskiest place to have a problem, an issue on either side of it is one thing but if you managed to actually damage the bulkhead that is a way for air to get in and fuel to get out.
Wiring melting inside the tank is just surrounded by gasoline vapor, not enough O2 to support combustion. You melt the bulkhead and you could create a place for air and gas to get to eachother. I don't think it likely but I think it is the reason you aren't seeing well made kits for this pump in the f-body and b-body yet.

Have you flow tested it to be sure it is getting proper current and therefore actually supplying the proper output?
Guessing you don't have any way of knowing if given the electrical limitation it might be acting like a 255lph pump, just at a higher cost

Did anybody here bother to read Aeromotive's faq on their Stealth pumps?

The 255lph pump from my research is 9-11 amps at 60psi, the 340 is 15 amps. , it is entirely possible for some of the stock wiring to be OK for the 255lph but then a problem for the 340 given the substantial current draw difference. I used 60psi because that was what I found for a rating on the 340 in Aeromotive's FAQ.
Think of it like a stock motor with stock exhaust vs. a heads/cam motor with stock exhaust. Which is being choked more?

Don't think of it like a motor and exhaust travel because it is electricity and not at all like you are inferring. The walbros from my experience have been worse than a stock pump. The 340 thus far, has been flawless. Like I said, I don't need the max output. I need the reliability.

Not to mention that the factory bulkhead connector o the FMP was prone to failure even with the factory pump and that is why they moved to a GT280-series 30-amp connector.

I have put the Ractronix 255lph kit is I think 4 cars never an issue.
Maybe there were quality issues more recently or maybe you are buying knockoffs or making a mistake in installtion. The only one of my friends around here who ever had a problem with the Walbro 255lph it turned out to be the crap black hose that came with the pump split pump was fine. Racetronix sends the nicer teflon tube.

The new 280-series bulkhead which is part of all new Delphi/GM modules fixes this problem:
Our new FPWK-017W hotwire system addresses all the issues with this connector by adapting the factory 150-series connector system to the new 280-series system w/o splicing anything:
