Walbro pump kit. Doing fine for me so far, very good price to. Got mine a New Era Performance > $98 http://www.neweraperformanceparts.com

As for the WaterPump depends on what you want. Could do either. You have to make a few mods to get the electric to fit, but not to hard. Electric pumps don't flow as much, cause it's the same flow at all times. There both about the same price.

I vote for the stock replacement water pump. GMS fuel pump working good on mine so far. about 12K miles over 5 years.

I asked this a little while back and was suggested Racetronix. It came with really good directions and I still love it. Racetronix uses a Walbro fuel pump, which is really good.

If your gonna do it, might as well go with the best. In-tank racetronix Walbro255lph fuel pump. I love it, and the directions were easy to understand. Putting it in is a different story, I should've cut a trap door out in the back....But didn't want to hack up the car. Good Luck!

I regret how I did my install aswell. I dropped the tank while keeping the rear end in. I ended up cutting the filler neck because that was the only thing holding me back. It wouldn't of been as bad if I had known there was a vent tube inside of the filler neck. So I put it back together with a small hose on the vent tube and a large *** radiator hose for the outside.
Next time I'm cutting a trap door
