Default Looking for a Fuel Pump

Apparently a 255LPH is the largest I am going to fit in the factory module while keeping proper jet pump operation. I was looking at the LPE package, but it is only a 225 LPH pump....Racetronix says they sell the same pump but it is a 255LPH pump.

Are there any options besides these 2? Car has the early style rear mount module. I don't want to spend a ton- If I spend a lot I would rather just upgrade to the new style and run the Aeromotive module.

The LPE pump is rated at 60 psi, and I'm sure the the Racetronix is the same pump but is rated at 43.5 psi.

what kind of power are you making?... the racetronix pump might be all you need... their pump harness is also a nice piece, I suggest getting that too if you don't already have one

Buy the Racetronix RFPK-007 kit and be happy. It contains the pump and direct-feed hotwire wire harness (plug-n-play). UNLESS you're over 600 RWHP, you're good. You'll love their quality as well.

Tip: Shop around their distributors for the best price on the kit. Prices vary, but you should be able to get it for low 200 range.

I am at 475rwhp now, once I get the bugs worked out I fully expect to be 525-550 range NA. Also spraying up to 250 on top of it. Think I might just say screw the fuel bucket and go with a 450 lph e85 pump

I think they are the same pump. But with the racetronix harness, it up's the pumps output. I just ordered the LPE pump kit and racetronix harness. LPE says the pump is good to 600. It's probably more with the harness.

I was thinking of that 1, but that would still leave me needing to replace the BAP that **** out so I would have enough fuel for the nitrous system lol.

Good luck on your setup. Im doing a 150 shot on top of my 430whp. So this kit should do the trick for me.

I'm at 475 now and once I work the kinks out I should be 525-550. That would put me on the edge just NA. Can spray up to 250 on top of it lol....

Might want to give Lonnie's Performance a call. He's got some good fuel system stuff.
