walbro 255 or if you don't mind spending a little extra $ the racetronics drop in setup is sweet cause it will give you more psi/volume due to its upgraded pump & harness over gm's lowsy 16 gauge wiring.

Doesnt the Racetronics one require you to connect it directly to the battery?

with me running a 1000 watt system, a 2nd battery, and a bunch of other electronics connected to the battery is it wise for me to use a fuel pump that requires it to be connected off the alternator/battery?

no matter how you hook up an electronic fuel pump, it needs to get battery power. the walbro can pull quite a draw and the stock wiring can't really keep up with it. check on ls1tech, people rave about them.

when i pushed 560 rwhp the aeromotive 700hp efi pump wasnt keeping up. I had to go to the A1000 unit/street controller.
If you are keeping as bolt in as possible i would go the racetronix setup, but personally you most likely will want more later so i would recommend sumping the tank and going a larger setup with braided stainless AN line and fittings.

My ride wont be hitting the track to much. Its mainly once in a while cruiser and a show car. So I keep reading about the racetronics one and it seems to be getting great reviews.

"Supposedly" it is a genuine walbro.. I had a guy saying he made 500 on spray and on a dyno never had fuel issues...
But your right, I would spend the extra bills for the peace of mind.

I run the Racetronix LT1 setup and their injectors and my 383 make slightly over 500 RWHP and I had no fuel issues.
