Fuel Pump
I'm in the process of converting my IROC from TBI to a TPI 355. I just bought a stock AC Delco replacement fuel pump for $116.99, and now I am reading all sorts of posts about you guys putting high performance fuel pumps in (such as the Walbro 430). Did I just screw myself? How much can the stock pump handle? Read my sig for engine mods.
By the way, how are you guys draining the fuel tank? Do you just siphon it, or is there some other trick?
Thanks

'88 IROC, 305 TBI(all but blown up!!)
New motor almost complete; 355 fully balanced, 9.75:1 compression, fully ported '70 truck heads(for now), Harland Sharp Roller Rockers, Comp Cams TPI cam, '90 speed density TPI with '86 base so it fits older style heads(presently being ported), AFPR, Flowmaster 3in. exhaust, Headers are coming soon, plan on burning my own chips, many more mods and parts on the way as time and money permits =(
Should have it running in a couple weeks as soon as I figure some things out.
Best E.T. with TBI 305: 16.11 @ 82mph (see why I'm putting a new motor in!!!)
Won bracket races at Numidia Raceway with my '70 Nova
