The cheap chinese fuel pump left me stranded yesterday. So a roll back ride and a more expensive chinese pump it runs. I thought the wacky gauge was due to the old pump. Not. Why in the world would stepping on the brakes make the gauge jump?

Yeah, especially since the AC Delco EP385 seems to be NLASo worth it…

I showed you a link that imo is a great pump. I don’t think $67.00 for a fuel pump is “high dollar” either.The cheap chinese fuel pump left me stranded yesterday.
For a mildly built TBI, or carbed engine, that may work. But not on a Vortec (needs 60PSI min) or a well built TBI. IIRC the EP385 is rated 155Lph @ 65PSI so, I would go with the Walbro 255LPH one to ensure enough flow.Walbro 5CA400-1 Walbro Electric In-Tank Fuel Pumps | Summit Racing

That's cool. How about its flow? Seems to me it's still not enough. When I'm running up to 90% injector duty cycle @20 PSI on WOT I'm a little Leary - I may be wrong, I just want the peace of mind I have enough pump down there.I wondered that to, so I contacted them:
The pump works flawlessly in my 5.7 Vortec, they also confirmed fitment for my truck.
It can handle 120psi, my 5.7 Vortec requires 63psi. Not sure I’m following you.That's cool. How about its flow? Seems to me it's still not enough.
