Default i need to know what kind of fuel pump to use..please help!

I'm thinking of buying a walbro 255 hp intank fuel pump for $110 shipped.
is this a good deal? I am going to be using it in conjuction with a 6-7 psi boosted LS.

That price is good, but go with in external pump like an aeromotive for boost.

you dont need a aermotive for boost apps. if you dont run some ungawdly amount of pressure you should be okay with a good avg pump

if you plan on running around 30-70psi of fuel pressure then dontworry about upgrading your pump the stock pump is good for around 350hp eeasily with low pressure

no, but you really don't need the high pressure one. unless you plan on running very high fuel pressures.

go to http://www.hondata.com and check out what they have to say regarding pressure, flow, and injector size. there are too many variables at play here to answer your question based on pressure alone.
