Fuel pump question
I am looking to swap a new pump in my car for the new setup. I was just gonna open up the factory cannister/bucket and replace the stock pump with a Walbro GSS340..Anyone do this already? It seems like the cheapest way to go..I don't see the point of buying a whole replacemnt cannnister and pump from a supplier when the swap seems so simple. What pumps have u guys used for this swap? Pls don't refer me to link to swap out the whole assemble to install another one..I wanna know what pump fits in our factory cannister..Thanks..

I am quite sure you can do it that way. I have made walbro pumps work in all kinds of cars
I am sure the racetronix set up uses one of the walbro pumps, they just scratch off all the numbers so you don't know which one. I never cared enough to match it up, but i would guess it is a 340 or so. Take out your old one and match it up on the internet then order that pump.
Ractronix also comes with a lot of crap you don't need that makes it a little more. Runs off the alternator for the extra voltage to increase volume, or you could get your own wire

Exactly bro, the only thing that i was wondering is that the stock pump seems to have a little spout at the bottom of the pump on the pics i have seen. Does anyone have the Walbro GSS340 next to the stock pump? Someone must have don e this swap..

Racetronix uses Walbro/LPE GRJ420 pumps. The have ALWAYS been Walbro GRJ42x series pumps. We include a new bucket, flex-hose, filter screen, filter sock and upgraded in-tank wiring which should be replaced esp. in a car that is 10 years old.
The harness is proven to improve pump performance by apx 15% and also allows you to add a booster without cutting into your factory harness and overloading it.
The kit also comes with a drainage kit which allows you to power up the pump without the car on to help aid in draining your tank.
The complete system MSRP is $349.99. It is available through many dealers on this forum.

Does the GSS340 not have the little spout at the bottom of the pump?
Does that spout draw fuel through it? I don't need all the xtra stuff. I am only looking at the pump. It is not a hard job at all to swap a pump. I hot wired my own pump and made a difference of a few PSI just by using a thicker power wire to the pump..
How much do u sell the pump only for? The GRJ 420 that is?

Dear Racetronix,
Since you are a supporting vendor with no email, PM or telephone contact, would you mind helping me out with installation instructions for the product I have purchased (1997-2002 C5 Corvette High Performance Fuel Pump System)? No instructions were included, and I could not find them on your website. I know that there are some third party instructions out there, but I want to make sure I follow your directions to the letter.
Thanks.

The install of the pump assembly is the same as the LPE unit w/o the need to re-use the factory flex tube and wiring:

If you are not going to use the proper pump you must remove the orange checkvalve & retaining ring at the bottom of the bucket. You should not run the tank below 1/8. Do not race the car below 1/2 tank since there will be no bucket reserve or tank baffling.

Might I suggest that you update the product description to show/describe the current product (i.e. bucket assembly).
It sure is a pleasure doing business with ya....
