Aftermarket Fuel Pumps

I need a new fuel pump for an 88 NA. I am thinking performance, but have no idea where to buy one. Any ideas? Something better than 55 gph! Thanks.

You don't need a new fuel pump unless you are putting out over 250HP. Which, on your NA, you aren't.

Save your money for something else. You need to add more air (porting/turbo/etc...) before thinking about adding more fuel.

Cool. Thanks for the advice, I'm getting it ported this summer which is why I was thinking a better pump. Would my car run fine with a better pump before it's ported, or would it not be a good idea?

By porting I meant bridge port/peripheral port territory. You don't need a new pump for streetported NAs.
