Default Fuel pump (need advise)

Well I as Im building up my car as a high performance car... would this fuel pump work on it? 1630 - 255 LPH Fuel Pump Kit (1985-91 5.0/5.7 Camaro & Firebird) http://bbkperformance.com/products/f...mponents.shtml If not then what fuel pump would you suggest for high performance? The car is a 1986 with TB bypass, cut lid, discreend MAF, forged pistons, Mild comp cam, Msd wires, Roller timing chain, clevite Rod bearings, BBK FPR, Magnaflow Cat, Lt Mufflers, and soon to build the intake with slp runners and bbk throttle body and port plenum!

That BBK should fit. A 255 LPH pump is good for up to 600 hp. Get a Walbro. http://www.jdsperformance.com/index....d=cat&inmake=0

The racetronix install kits are very nice and the cost is good.
