Walbro fuel pumps?

How does this brand match up to others? Any recommendations for an inline fuel pump and estimated cost? Any GP's? Thanks

almost every decent in tank pump is made by walbro. For example the Holley HP pumps are made by Walbro

I have a Walbro 255ltr hr in-tank fuel pump in mine, it works awesome! No problems.

I just swapped my original pump for the Walbro 255 ltr. pump, and it works great! A little loud(since you remove the pulsator to install it), but with the radio on or a modified exhaust you'll never notice. I believe they support up to 500+ HP, but am not sure of the exact numbers. As hard as thirdgen fuel pumps are to swap, it's definitely worth the investment!

Yup i paid near 200 bucks on my holley 255 to find the walbro name stamped on it. I bet its alot cheaper from them.
