Question on TPI replacement pump
I'm looking at putting a TPI fuel pump in my 93' buick roadmaster and i've been looking around on different sites comparing prices and since we have an Advance Auto Parts in town I looked on there site and the brand they carry is Carter. Also they show they have a optional high performance replacement pump for TPI that is the same price as the AC Delco TPI pump.
My question is if anyone knows if the Carter brand would be worth putting in my car or has heard anything about that brand?
heres a link of the pump I'm looking at

I would look at a Walbro pump. They are about the best bang for your buck when it comes to high flow fuel pumps. I think I had mine shipped to my door for $97 and they have direct fits pumps for most GM platforms.

My dad and I use Carter pumps in all our cars. They are a few dollars cheaper than Walbros and they are MUCH QUIETER. Walbros are NOISY! Walbros are also more pump than a stock car needs.
And for anyone else who asks, yes you can use a high pressure TPI pump in a TBI application, as its the fuel pressure regulator, not the pump itself, that sets the pressure.
