I forgot who sent me the msg as i deleted all my pm's
but who is using the Racetronix / Walbro fuel pump (pic and info in link below) for the F-bodies?
Also what all has to be changed in order for it to work?
here is the link to the pump im talking about

Im asuming i have to still do that fix for the 1/4 tank cut out to it..

I thought this pump has the connection for the cut fill so you don't have fuel cut issues. Maybe I'm wrong.

yeah that thing looks like the answer to all my prayers....
has the venturi fill built in....should be a drop & go application, no cup cutting required....
IMA get me onna dose...
Im am getting one next week for my project. Just gotta get the engine put in this weekend! I am pretty sure its plug and play for support of 700 hp!
Is it the correct outer dimensions for our fuel pump housing? anyone know?
I plan to order one in the near future if it is truely plug & play.
I was gonna get this pump when we installed my turbo last January, but noticed in fine writing "for plastic tanks only"
Soo, thats why I didnt get it.

I am ordering it next week so i will be able to tell then.
Shoot... This will be perfect for my truck when that turbo goes on!
Go beyond the "bolt-on".
Anyone know the reasoning for it's warning for use only with plastic tanks?
Since it is for an F body I would assume that the plastic only pertains to F cars only due to change in fuel pump module design Metal tank F cars dont need the venture on the pump.
^Yeah, because alotta GM vehicles switched sometime during production to plastic tanks like my S-10 did. I guess because the plastis tanks are less prone to rust (Duh) & are safer than the stamped steel versions.

why not just hook up a large external pump (like an aeromotive a1000) inline to the intank pump?
aeromotive sells fittings that adapt straight to the GM hardlines

True this could be done, but some people like things to appear stock or function like stock. I'm one of those.

most people wouldn't get on their hands and knees to look up your car's skirt... but i could see the loud ass external pump being annoying. Although I'd imagine most people's exhaust would drown out the external anyway.. my buddy's 04 turbo has an external MSD pump and you barely hear it when its runing.. i've never heard an a1000 however.
it depends on how you setup your pump (aeromotive calls for a filter before the a1000 and a filter after it) but here's the page to the aeromotive fittings:

you could also use these to upgrade your fuel lines from the under-car hardline to the fuel rail up by the firewall. would be a nice looks upgrade or just whatever. feed lines are 3/8 return lines are 5/16
Goto performancetrucks.com (<-This is not a link!). There's a sticky there on how to install an aftermarket pump in that damn sleeve, regardless of model vehicle.

looks like it could be a nice lift pump for me, ill be watching this thread, jmarks are you going to the bash?

Yeah ill be there! And hopefully be running in the 11's
Slick looking pump, might have to ad this to the boost project list.
So now i have to choose either the blazer or the racetronix...decisions, decisions...DAMNIT
I been looking at this for my 98 Because I to want everything quite and to look stock. My concern is will it need the heavier wiring harness like they sell with this pump.

you might as well get the wiring kit... it comes with wires thats are rated to be subject to gas as well it is a hot wire kit so your pump always has 12 volts and its only like $20 more..
