Best fuel pump for LT1?

I'm going to replace my fuel pump on my S/C'd 94 LT1, is the Bosch unit the best? If so, is it an easy replacement job and is DRM the best price/place to purchase one? Thanks in advance for any assistance/advise!

It's an easy fix, 1 hour tops. I'd stay with OEM part on this one ! ! !

Are you running an external fuel pump with the Vortech? If not, and it was me, I'd go with an in-tank high flow fuel pump. I'm looking at a ProCharger now, and one of the things they require is an external high flow fuel pump... I wouldn't think that a stock fuel pump would be a good idea for a blown application (but then again, I don't know much about Vortechs). I recently picked up an in-tank Walbro (SP?). Hope this helps. :)

I run dual 255lph Walbro fuel pumps. One for intank and one for inline. Supercharge car are required a very poten fuel system. Do not use factory replacement fuel pump.
