Default Fuel Pump recommendations?

I'm looking for a fuel pump to handle around 450 RWHP in my LT4. Does anyone have any recommendations? Also, I'd like to get it ordered as quickly as possible to maybe be here for the weekend to install it...so a place to rder one would be very helpful too!

Walbro makes the pump. The one I got was really plug and play for my 87. I git it from Racetronix.com. Go check and see if they have what you need. The bad news is : they are in Canada and it took a week to get mine.

Yeah, I saw that. I might end up ordering from them, the pump I have now might be able to handle it...I just wanted a backup in case I needed one

The 400-1016 installation kit which comes with that is not C4 specific. The differences between your generic kit and the Racetronix C4 kit are outlined in our ad. Considering the differences the Racetronix FPA is a much better value.

Yeah, what I got installed and works just great but you are correct in that your kit does look more thorough. Looks really nice actually. That is the same walbro pump too isn't it?
