Default Holley fuel pump, regular or FI model?

I am looking into getting a Holley 255 lph in-tank fuel pump. I'm trying to decide if I should the "forced induction" model, or the standard model. I am running 550cc injectors, Aeromotive FPR, and a PMS for fuel management. I am not going to be running high fuel pressures due to the 550's and since the Aeromotive FPR is 1:1. Which one would be the better choice for my setup? Thanks!

Either will work fine, if there is a diff in price then get the regular 255.

Don't waste your money on holley pumps. I bought one a while ago only to see that it's a rebadged walboro. You're paying $20-40 more for paperwork and a fancy sticker. I took mine back right away and saved a bundle on a dsm walboro for $113, another h-t hookup.

ps, you won't need the high-pressure pump with the hondata and 1-1. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

holley owns walbro, bro - the FI 12912 can support more GPH @ higher fuel pressures then the 12906. One peice of advise I use from the builder of the worlds fastest corvette is also aim for overkill on your fuel system, that includes redundancy ie - dual feed Y-block whatever, just put it on. As fot the extra money to buy a holley they have excellent customer care and can answer all your fuel related questions. the good thing about the holley is that makes a good feeder pump, I run a holley intank and a big bosch **** pump, they work well together.

I did not know holley owns walboro. I do know that i'm not going to pay more money for the same product, same part #. The point about customer service is a very valid one, but 8 out of 10 guys just want the product; not the warm and fuzzy feeling that accompanies it.

[edit-my holley was 160 vs 113; quite a difference if you ask me]
