Default Aftermarket fuel pump setups

Hey guys for a little background I have the mods in my sig and I'm getting some kind of cam down the road. I was just wondering what kind of fuel pump setups people are running? I see that the Racetronix kit is very popular but I'd rather not drop $300+ just on a fuel pump. Just wanted to know if there were any cheaper setups for a cam/spray car?

Would the Racetronix harness upgrade thing that bumps the voltage up be enough for a cam/150 setup or no?

I've read lots of recommendations on the wiring harness, but I've no experience with it. I do have some with a Magnaspark BAP. In combination with a LPE in-tank, it handles 600 RWHP with ease.

The 99-02 C5 module is not $300.00:

The complete kit with FPA and harness is listed here:

The harness by itself will not increase pump support by 150HP in a 99-02 C5.

Thanks for the link, not quite sure where I got the $300ish number from. I like that $200 a lot more, might just get that

does this pump replace the fuel level sensor as well? my pumps are not reading properly at all and most places pump assemblies are insane on prices.

NO you have to reuse your old sensor.

We have new level senders in stock if you require one.
We have not added them to our web store yet but they will be up shortly.
