Stock fuel pump just went, which should I get?

The stock fuel pump quit on me. Which one should I get that will be enough to feed 350+HP engine?? Looking for a stock replacement in-tank pump. Walbro?? What size?? What is the link?

Many people get the Walbro 255 l/hr pump, but I think its overkill for an n/a engine. I used an Aeromotive LT1 replacement pump, rated at 65 PSI and 33 gal/hour. Sorry I cant remember its part number.

No such thing as overkill when it comes to your fuel pump, especially when you want to run NOS. The pump will not have to work as hard to maintain pressure if it is a higher capacity than needed. Personally, I used up an ACDELCO Syclone pump in less than two years of everyday driving and weekend racing...and I am wishing I bought the Walbro in the first place. Of course...when I drop my 406 in next month, the Walbro I now have will be able to feed it just fine. ;-)

Here is the link to our local thirdgen "rep" for Walbro pumps:

You want the FPG003 pump for $108
