Best upgraded fuel pump?

I was driving to work and my car suddenly died. it would re-start every few tries and then die again after about 30 seconds. I suspected my fuel pump died.
So, in 37 degree weather at night in a Walgreens parking lot (which was across the street from where my car died, I was able to limp it there in 30 second bursts which pissed off everybody around me in rush hour traffic...) I opened up my fuel tank only to find that the pump appears to be fine.
What happened? the ground wire INSIDE the tank fell out of its crimp so it was just brushing against the contact. This is why my car could restart but then the pump wouldn't be able to keep up the pressure and it would die again.
So I threw the stock pump back in and drove home. Lucky for me I can fix this problem for free, but for the record... Venom makes crappy products that will fall apart after less than 4k miles. I should probably get a different pump instead... but money is tight right now, so this will have to do.
Also, for the record I made 280RWHP with that pump, and when paired with 1000/1000cc injectors, that is supposed to be good for up to 400RWHP

Like a few of the guys have said if you arent after mega power an FD or supra pump are the way to go and they are realible unlike walbro. The only reason i went for an 044 was i was aiming to hit 360KW + and i dont think a FD pump can support that power not sure about the supra pump though, toyota do over build their cars from the factory.

I have had my Walbro for about four or so years now, but only roughly 6,000 miles on it. It has been running just fine for my ~322 RWHP set-up. I believe I'll try the Bosch 044 later on, when I need a different fuel pump.

I used Deatschwerks 300+ LPH High Flow In-Tank Fuel Pump in my 2g dsm it was awesome super quiet and pressure was always there. The price is not too bad either at $169.00
•Flows 300+ litres per hour
• In-tank application specific fitment ( none for the rx7's you will have to use universal)
• Ethanol compatible
• 3-year no-fault warranty
• Quiet and reliable turbine impeller (almost like stock)

I take it back, Venom pisses me off.

somehow the pumps manage to hydrolock.
i pitched that piece of **** onto my shelf until i can look at it further or use it possibly for my injection test stand. it did produce the flow it stated as i tossed in my spare walbro and didn't affect the tune at all.
i will say it did last about 30k miles though. course the walbro i put in had 30k on it before i threw it in the venom pump's place... no issues so far. will run it for a while until i do the twin pump setup for the twin charger or switch to E85. the venom pump won't ever go back into a car.

For what it's worth, I've been running a Walbro in my S4 TurboVert for 6+ years. Running a little over 200 whp, never a hint of a problem. But if I did replace it, Denso would be my choice as higher HP is in the S4's near future.

If I take the sheet provided by Deatschwerks their pump flows the following at 13.5V.
- 70psi 250 L/H
- 80psi 230 L/H
- 90psi 205 L/H
If I take the data generated by RC Engineering for the FullBlown dual unmodified Walbro's at 13.5V.

- 70psi 375 L/H
- 80psi 300 L/H

it did however burn up the series 5 tank plastic bulkhead connector though, i installed a series 4 pump body into his series 5 tank, a little modified to lower the pump the right amount and swapped level senders. the series 4 pump body wiring is the most superior of all series including FD.

Why cant the aeromotive 340lph be used everyday.... would it make the car ultra rich and difficult to tune the idle?..
