Its a Walbro pump, if you look around you could save few bucks. I went with BBK, im happy with it. Its a nice kit, comes with everything needed. Change the fuel filter also while your at it.

Good pumps.

Just about every fuel pump out there is a Walbro pump. Doesn't matter if it comes from BBK, Trick flow, etc. BBK's are kind of expensive. What size pump are you looking to put in?

I noticed that after I made this post. I ended up buying the BBK (255 lph) at a local performance shop and and installed it yesterday.

Come to find out when I pulled the pump that was in the tank someone who had the car before me had already changed the pump looked like the same kit that I baught just not sure what size it was the first set of numbers on the pump were different than the new pump.

I didn't replace it cause I thaught it was bad I replaced it cause I figured it was stock and considering all the mods recently done to my car I needed to install a better pump.

Even if ur stock just get a pump and adj fuel reg and adjust to desired needs. Once you upgrade anyway you'll need one sooner or later might as well get it outta the way now since ur already thinking about it.

How will you use more gas with a bigger fuel pump?

1989Gt. · August 11th, 2008, 04:26 PM

no im saying there is no reason to have it if hes stock.....

95StangMX · August 11th, 2008, 05:02 PM

sure there is a reason its called getting your supporting mods taken care of....so many newbies jump in here and want to put in bigger maf or bigger TB or this or that and want to know how much its going to add....they are supporting mods that are needed to go with other things bro....and I would no go smaller than a 255 if you are going to the trouble to change it do it once and be done the price difference is minimal if any....

You clearly said " if your stock your going to be eating gas.... 255 is way to much thats for performance you would be fine with 190". A bigger fuel pump won't make the engine consume more fuel. If you are going to go thru the hassle of putting a bigger pump in you might as well get the 255lph right away so you have room to grow. The pumps have about a $7 difference in price so why not get the big one. That is what everyone is saying.
