  • upgrade fuel pump??

    I was just wonderring should I upgrade my fuel pump because I just installed my 50 shot wet kit and since I am replacing my rear end should I upgrade my fuel pump or just go with a new stock one.. My pump has 77,000 miles on it and I might raise the shotdown the line to a 100 shot..

          If you have the spare cahs then Walbro (used by magnus) works quite well.
          Granatelli came out with a drop in version.
          I have no experience with the summit but it should be fine.
          You would want a 255 Litre per hour version

            Your 50 shot will be fine on the stock pump. My pump just took a slow dump on me, I went the Walbro route. Got it for roughly $100 shipped. It was easy to install, but hard to get the old one out (dropping the tank, etc.) Makes a world of difference. My car doesn't fall flat on its face in high RPMS any more. I am putting it back on the bottle thursday. Woo Hoo!!!!
