Fuel pump recommendations?
What is a reliable, good quality, fuel pump that you guys would recommend?
My setup is an 02Z with supercharger, BAP, Racetronix harness, making 607whp. I put in a better pump when I did other upgrades like the BAP, Racetronix etc., I think it was a 255lph Walbro ( or similar) about 11 years ago. Only about 10k miles since then, but I am having intermittent FP issues. Not sure if it is the FP, or wiring to it etc., but planning ahead for a FP.
Here is the thread about the issue, if anyone wants to comment. Probably a lot more experience in this section with my setup or similar.

Hi, I'm Brett. I also have a brother, Bret, on here. LOL I joke but we're both going to say the same thing from direct experience with Racetronix because we both curse them openly.
I bought two of the self-same 255lph pumps from them a decade ago. One arrived DOA. The second one "worked" until I got it down to be tuned. Driving around under 2k rpm it always maintained pressure, but putting it on the hub dyno when Doug went to tune it we immediately learned that it nosed over above 4000 rpm. A second DOA pump effectively. I have sworn their products off since then.
Bret got me started on the right path to doing my own wiring and firmly upped my game on the DT side of life. Trust yourself and no other essentially. He assembles his own relays which replace any Racetronix harness or BAP box. He is an electrical engineer if I have the specific designation right when he is Bruce Wayne by day and can set you up in the right direction.
As for pump(s) I'll let him speak to whatever your combination is, but from experience in a friend's car the walbro 450lph is pretty darn quiet. I have two of them in my in progress build.
