I installed the LPE pump using their less than stellar instructions...(they forgot to mention a few important steps) and also sent me a wrong tank gasket but I would think they all pretty much install the same way. YMMV

Racetronix produces an excellent fuel pump "kit"....it is complete with everything you need. I've used there kit several times with great results.

Well the deal is I have my fuel pump out and have a bpp 600-960 pump kit. Having problems getting the pump out of the bucket. Looking at the bpp kit im wondering if it installs the same as the lpe kit. The instructions are less than stellar with it as well.

I've call bpp and am waiting for a tech to call me back

Well it sounds like the bpp kit is a hack job kit! They want you to cut up your sending unit and zip tie it back together! Avoid this product like the plague, get the LPE unit

Just purchased the LPE unit now. If anyone is wanting a mickey mouse job Breathless Performance walbro 255 pump let me know. Mines still new in box! If hacking ur stock pump doesn't bother ya much it'd be a good route!
