Default Fuel Pump Help

Is it better to go with the racetronix kit or just put in a Walbro 255 lph pump
had mine on the dyno with a 150 shot on stock pump and the A/F mixture went to like 15 or something like that so they shut it down and told me how close i was to loosing a motor so now im looking at different fuel pumps and also where can i buy the kit to change it over to a wet kit
I hope this does'nt sound dumb, but it is things i need to know

if money is tight the walbro will do. if you have the extra $ then the racetronix would be nice insurance and allow you to run a bigger shot later. I would check with NitroDaves on the conversion parts to go wet.

Are you sure the fuel filter is not getting dirty and restricting the flow? Sometimes the solution is simple.
