better pump then a walbro
hey guys i was doing some reading and i have seen that the walbro 255 HP pump starts to **** out at around 600-650whp. i plan on making around 650. my question is, is there another intank pump i can use instead of the walbro that hold more power then the walbro? i heard something about a supra one or something... i dont know where to buy one and i dont know any details on it. so someone please help me.

Re: better pump then a walbro (Rob!)
You need to do external pump. There are several people on her includeing myself running external pumps. The supra pumps are smaller then walbros i belive. Some supra people run external pumps to or 3 walbro's. here are a couple links...

Bosch has a 420 lph pump, I think it was used on Porsche 911 GT2's. They seem to use them on ls1tech.com a lot, I think Racetronix sells a kit for them. It's something to look into.

An A1000 doesn't support worlds more power than a hotwired walbro, and not really worth having to sump your tank for. Weldons are expensive and suck ***** for the street. If you want a big external pump there is no way to go but Magnafuel. I'll never put a Weldon on another street car again.

Jeff along with quite a few people wire Walbro pumps with 10 gauge to the alternator to get 14V. Larger fuel line (-8) helps too.

They're NOISY, they take a lot of power, they heat up the fuel, and have a penchant for burning up on the street. You can run the Weldon dial-a-flow (which I havn't had great experiences with either) or the Aeromotive pump controller to slow it down and keep it alive on the street, but I'd rather buy the right fuel pump than spend 200 bucks more on a band aid setup.

Wouldn't a Magnaflow pro star 600 be just as noisy and take as much power up as the weldon?
