In-line fuel pump

I´ve got a 255 in-tank fuel pump. But I need more fuel and thinking of getting a extra in line pump before the fuel filter under the car.
Do you have a suggesten on pump or kit that works with the least amount of changes to existing lines etc.?

He told me a 255 is good for approximately 500-550 flywheel horsepower. The 340 is good for approximately 700. But you want to be 15-25% higher then your Horsepower rating. Along with the 340 pump you will need to upgrade your wiring and bulkhead as well.

If you are stuck on an in-line pump I’d contact Bob at Brute Speed, I believe Procharger makes an in-line pump that might work for you.

I have run an a-1000 on the back of the drivers side seat on a few dozen of those cars all in line with great success. I keep them in stock too, Let us know if we can help.

It says Ls1 98-02 and I´ve got a Lt1 1994. Does It fit my car?

That is an Airtex pump reboxed.
Doesn't flow as much as a single in-tank Walbro 255.
Band-aid approach!
If you insist on installing something like this then you might as well install a Walbro GSL392 which is less than half that price with all the wiring and plumbing.
