Default New fuel pump or boost a pump?

I'm thinking of getting a 125 shot in my car and would not be comfortable with the stock fuel pump. But is a new fuel pump needed or will a boost a pump kit sufficient? I am looking at either a nitro dave plate kit, nos plated kit or TNT nitro ring.
Thanks
AJ

I've never liked the boost-a-pump personally. An in-tank Walbro is only a yard or so, and can installed in 20min (if you cut an access hole), plus it provides enough fuel for larger shots.

A boost a pump can be set-up on a relay to only come on while spraying. This will be needed to be considered in your tune. It will also stress a stock type pump moreso than an aftermarket pump, but is doable. Check the prices pump vs BAP not a lot of difference, so I would also do like Charlie stated and go pump. A bap is normally saved for the biggest hp guys where almost no pump will do the job.

The Racetronix is pretty hard to beat for reliability and ease of install.

I agree. I'm running the Racetronix PnP fuel pump on my car, and it works great. It comes with good instructions and is very easy to install.
