Default EVERYONES INPUT WANTED AND...................

Very much appreciated. Any boosted peoples input is needed on a fuel pump issue, please follow this link http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/Forum40/HTML/008813.html and for those who are not Hostboard members, here is a copy of the post
Now I have been running the GS-342 pump for about a year now and the SOB is taking a big ******* dump on me right now. I never realized it reall until I rigged up the voltmeter doo hickey to see what my fuel pressure ratio was while tunning but repeatedly I could see the voltage drop off from sometimes .94 all the way down to .85 ish. Then I witness the fuel guage do it's "Jump around" dance and it serious put the fear of the "Lean God" in my heart! Now my question for everybody is, I have a couple sure shot solutions to this problem. Both answers involve a replacement INTANK pump as I really don't want to deal with an inline pump. I am looking at either another Walbro (damn am I dissappointed that mine is shot already) or the Bosch Endyn special. Now I think the majoroity of us around here are running the Walbro's, but who here is running the Bosch and do any of you Walbro users see any advantage (besides price) to running the Walbro? I don't really like to replace **** that is as important as a fuel pump and now see how the Autometer guage really didn't indicate the dieing of my pump so I don't want another failing unit. Now how bout you big guys out there (Crom, Holden, JRCivic, 1fast, Zip, G3-Teg, strng1dah, SC HYBRID, I really want your serious opinions on this cause I would say we all have nearly the same setups and we all are going for the best that we can so I can def. use some "Old timers" opinions (GOOD AND BAD, PROS AND CONS FOR BOTH UNITS) with my injectors and VAFC, I am only needing a top pressure of no more then 80psi, so I shouldn't put too much of a strain on any pump that I get, but the main thing is I don't want to replace this thing (or worry about it failing) ever again and I know I'm not the only one around here that experienced the drop in fuel pressure when the Walbro would heat up in the summer time am I? I can only imagine the dips in my power curve due to the fuel drops and strange as it may seem, I think due to the size of the injectors and the amount of fuel being dialed in with the VAFC, I never saw a hint of det, just serious power loss If you guys know of another medium grade replacement go ahead and throw that in ther too, as the Walbro is on the low side (11 gal/hr @ 100psi) and the Bosch is a big timer (41 gal/hr @ 100psi) I just want to know that I will not ever have a starvation at the injectors for fuel again. Well Thanks guys
thanks

I would just go with the bosch and not worry about it ever again.

I agree. The Bosch pump is just stout, and more pump than you'll need. It's not even that expensive, and if you mount it outside of the tank, it's actually pretty quiet too.

Yes, but what about running the 255 intank and the Kenne Bell boost-a-pump? That would help the voltage drop and from I have learned is that the intanks burn out is because it doesn't get enough volts all the time. . . .
