Ok, i ordered the gss342 fuel pump. I was told to get this one, and also told to get the 255 lph one. I thought these were the same?????? I am using drag 3 turbo kit, hondata 2b, aem fpr and RC 440's. Which one do I use????????

a) gss342 high pressure pump
b)255ltr pump

Thank you, your response is appreciated.

what the hell, thats what i thought. Auto Performance Engineering said:

I can't ship your fuel pump until
I figure out just what you want.

You ordered the 255 ltr/hr pump, but
then asked for the GSS342... which is
the 255 high pressure pump.

Please let me know what you want.

Order the 255 HIGH pressure and you will get the gss342.

Yes and no. The high Pressure version of the gss342 has a different backflow spring in it which allows it to run at higher rail pressues. The standard gss342 has a max psi of 70 psi and the HP version can do over 100. If you aren't running an FMU, then just get the regular gss342. He explains this very well on his webpage.

If you want the best, go with the HP 255 pump.

$112 shipped, with the installation kit! The sheet says MSRP is $155 + $16.35 for the install kit. Got it through auto performance engineering.

at least he waited before shipping a possible WRONG part. I'd rather wait to CONFIRM what I ordered than get a unuseable part.

BTW his shipping is <U>FAST!</U>
