Default Fuel pump replacement - Racetronix in 2000 Silverado

The OEM pumps are expensive as hell and I can't justify that with Walboro pumps being so cheap an accessible. From what I have read I can use the following:

http://www.racetronix.biz/itemdesc.a...%2D016&eq=&Tp=

http://www.racetronix.biz/itemdesc.a...%2D001&eq=&Tp=


I read a few write ups and it seems like one of these will work with little modification. I m not trying to be a cheap ***, but $340 for a delphi pump is ridiculously overpriced.

Are there any ill effects of putting a performance pump in a stock truck? Will it overrun the fuel pressure regulator? Etc...

If you have any questions about my application let me know. It is a bone stock 5.3L, 2000 Z71 Extended cab.

You will be fine with a bigger pump like the walbro.

Awesome thanks man!

The $150 Racetronix pump is a drop in affair correct?

Bueller?

Here are some pictures of my pump assembly. For some reason my OEM pump does not have the nipple on it for a venturi style? What do I do in this case?

Leave the nipple open and let it ride?
