Fuel Pump Install soon...quick ?
Fuel Pump Install soon...quick ? So I am having a shop install a new fuel pump soon. In the future I do plan on more mods, probably H/C in the next year or so. I am not sure where they will get the pump from and I know it will be an OEM pump. My question is what fuel pump should I buy and take into them to install? This should be cheaper than having them pick one up correct? I have heard of some minor modifications needed to be made in order to put some after market pumps in. So in short, what pump should I buy that will be an easy swap for a shop doing the work? Thanks.

I am new to the Camaro scene but not new to the car scene. I would suggest a walbro fuel pump I have used them with no issues what so ever. I even used a 255l/h in a 94 Sti when I was stationed in Japan.
I have seen them used in 700 hp applications with no issues and to top it off they are reasonably priced.
I would check up on them!!

Thanks for the help. Anyone else have anything to offer? I heard the walbro didn't go in without modification.
What about this pump? Does everything come with it that is needed to replace the stock pump?

Would a reputable mechanic have any problems installing this? Is that all I would need to take to them? Also, do I want the low or high pressure, I assume the high right?
Finally, this has to be cheaper going this route than having them buy the pump for me right? I just want to upgrade the pump now since it is bad and not have to do it again when I do more mods.
Thanks

That's answers one question. But does the link I posted before for the $90 walbro setup have everything someone at a shop would need to install and go without running into problems?
