i think NOS makes a pretty good out-of-tank fuel pump.

Walbro makes a really nice pump. I know a few people running them with no troubles.

Both Holley and Granatelli make direct replacement in tank fuel pumps that can support up to 800 horsepower. I have no personal experience with these but I know that they offer them. They list both of them on Summit Racing's online catalog. Worth checking into.

I have a Holley external in-line pump. 230lph @ 45psi.
I chose external so I wouldn't have to drop the tank to change it.
Mine does get quite loud at times. I paid $143 at summit 2 years ago for it.

Jegs sells an MSD in-line for $76.99, not too bad.

I think Walbro is the cheapest. They make it for other companies and the other companies mark it up. I have a Walbro high output tank in my pump and it works well for me. I installed it because the pump was old and when I was taking out the tank, I decided to do that at the same time. I didn't want to take the tank out again nor did I want to cut a hole in the floorpan.

Im running a Walbro 255lph in tank pump which supports close to 700hp and have had no problems at all. Ive heard rumours that Walbro and Holleys are manufactured by the same guys???

AFAIK, Walbro supplies the pump with a different sticker on it depending on who buys it.

I have the 255 pump and so far no problems

Jeff I have had the Holley 255 in tank pump on my car for 2 years with no problems. Are you looking for a internal pump or external pump?
