Default Inline fuel pump questions

Ok, lots of people have been talking about inline fuel pumps for their supercharged trucks. I've asked several times, but, here I go again. What EXACTLY do I need to buy? Where do I buy it? How do you hook it up? I've seen plenty of walbro 255lph inline fuel pumps on ebay etc, but, none are for our trucks. Someone must make a kit, if not, maybe one of you who knows how could make some money at this. Hook a brotha up.

Send a PM to BlownChevy... He hooked me up with one of the Magnacharger pump kits for the trucks. It made the install a snap... 30 mins tops with a new fuel filter and jacking up the damn truck.

I used the Magnacharger fuel pump and then replaced it with a Kenne Bell Boost a pump, and am finding that it works really well. Go to their web site to read up on it.

doesn't the boost a pump only increase the voltage to the stock fuel pump??

you might be better off using them both if you still have the magnacharger kit. Personally, I would not use a boost a pump over a 255lph Walbro pump.

i must be retarded. I just paid $220 for an inline fuel pump. It's the one that magnuson uses. Supposedly it comes ready to install, complete package. Man, for that price, i hope so.

yeah... except for the new filter. Do it at the same time. I think it was like under 20 mins to install mine, but that's with the fise box cover off, ready to go.

Don't use the boost-a-pump with the stock intank fuel pump it's not able to tolarate the added voltage will kill the pump.Mine killed 3.

I'm using the Walbro GSL392 inline pump, I think it's a damn good pump for forced induction or whatever. I got mine from Jegs for like $150 I think it was. It's rated at 255LPH. In Jegs it is listed as a Holley pump but it is actually a Walbro.
