Walbro Pump ?'s

I am looking into getting a new external inline fuel pump for my TPI conversion. I have seen some stuff about Walbro pumps.

How is there longevity?

Which pump should I need to provide fuel for a stock TPI on a stockish motor? How many LPH? I won't need a 255 will I? Should I buy a pump with alot higher rating then I need so it won't work as hard to supply my TPI?

Who has the best prices on Walbro pumps? I have seen this place, is there anyone cheaper?

Thanks
Harley

If you need extra fuel replace the intake pump IMO. for example a 180 gph pump will only allow that much to go through it, even w/ a 255 booster pump inline. So you may see more pressure, but you are not going to get more fuel through a stock pump that fully open only sees 180 for example...

OH and IMO get the pump from racetronix.com

They have great prices and they are drop in piece.
