Default Plz Sign-In, Anyone with In-Tank Fuel Pump Upgrades.. Walbro??

Who here has changed their in-tank fuel pump to a higher volume pump? 255lph? What did you use? Any modifications?

Anyone using a Walbro 340 in-tank?

Thanks!

P.S. I'd like to see independent solutions other than ARE, Racetronix, etc...

Hey Mello,
I talked to Nick and he told me he can upgrade the stock fuel pump. How much does a new Walbro cost?
OOPS I just read the last line in your thread. :smash:

Mike sent mine to LPE to be upgraded. Mainstream, I suppose, but seems like a good choice.

Thx Guys. Anyone do one independently yet??

I'll pass on ARE. Maybe LPE, but I think LPE does voltage boosting on the stock fuel pump, which isn't my favorite solution. Aside from the marketing hype, I firmly believe voltage boosting shortens the life and reliability of a pump. I don't trust the stock GM pump that far either.

I'd really like to see a Walbro 340 style solution. I may just do mine myself.
Anyone?

Mike, I have the Walbro 340, so far good at 625 rwhp on the n20.

btw did you get a 4th person in on the ls1 edit ? I'm very interested BUT $$
is VERY tight at the moment.

in-tank or auxillary?

Where did you get it?
Use anything special for the C5?
Wiring? Tips?
Who installed?
Which EXACT model W340? Price? P/N?

I should be doing mine at Angel's soon.

I'm going back and forth. I might buy the unlimited version and start programming PCM's with live O2/Timing data, or on Dyno or standard burns. Can't trust anyone else to program, so I may start doing it myself.

Lemme know when you are interested. Dragging my feet right now.
