Default Which fuel pump do you all recommend

I was thinking of a walbro 255 pump because i will be getting a nitrous kit in a few weeks and I plan on using around a 100 shot. Do you think this will be a good fuel pump for this set up. How easy is it to install and is their an easier fuel pump to install.

thanks

I've heard good things with both setups. I have the Racetronix setup in both my rides. No complaints.

There was a big shipment that went out not too long ago. Combination Motorsports, I do believe had 40 some racetronix kits for the B-cars. Funny how many kits are left (none) after such a good GP we got on them

Far as I know ALL the available upgraded intank pumps are Walbros anyway. Sure some companies like Racetronix go the extra mile and make it more boltin but it is still a Walbro pump. I am not discouraging anyone from buying the Ractronix stuff actually I would encourage it. What I am saying is when you look at all the "options" out there you are looking at the same pump sold through different middlemen who put it in a different box.

Your Caprice is a different animal. There is far more to it than re-boxing and bundled components when it comes to the F-Body systems. Pick up the April 2006 issue of GMHTP so you can read about it.

I was trying to say the pumps themselves are pretty mucht the same be they sold as Holley or Granatelli or whatever all the names the Walbro is sold under. I know they have slight fitment issues for the f-body and that is why I said you guys go the extra mile be cause you guys offer a kit with all the parts needed.

Who bashed Racetronix? I believe everyone here is saying they are the best source to use.
