Default Question??
Any one know how much it's going to cost me to change my fuel pump or is it easy to change my self?

I can help you change it. I would get a Racetronix kit. You can get one for about $200 and changing it is not difficult. I prefer the trap door method, have done it on both LT1 and LS1 cars.

We can take care of that for you, if you'd like. Labor is only $37.50, and the part is only ~$5-15

The popular kits, including the Racetronix kit, all use Walbro fuel pumps. The basic 255lph kit is capable of suporting ~700hp.

The kits come with wiring and tubing to make the swap easier. You can just swap the pump, but then you have to cut and crimp the old tubing... I think the basic kit for a LS1 is $150 from Racetronix.
