Time for a fuel pump, should I upgrade???

So it's time for a fuel pump. Should I go with a stock replacement? I have heard of some issues with Walbro...quality that is?

My future plans are a mild cam, intake and roller rockers and valve work. So will a stocker hold up, or anyone have recommendations on something else...like a different GM pump...my friend mentioned one for a Buick Grand National???

Harris Performance a.k.a. www.tbiparts.com

Call Brian Harris and he'll get you hooked up with a great pump shipped under $100. I have been using his pump for over a year and many of my customers as well. No issues.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I will consider them both for sure. Still have yet to settle on something...so the opinions help.

Just curious why this fuel pump? Did the TPI one have more volume/pressure, was it meant for a 350?
