QUICK! which fuel pump do I buy?

I've got a d16y8 w/greddy kit, stock boost for now, going to 10psi soon though, blue box or afc hack for management.

Do I get the 255lph pump or the 255lph High Pressure? Need a quick answer so I can get back to studying!

Walbro GSS-317 = 255 lph
Walbro GSS-342 = 255 lph high output

Either one will work. They flow roughly the same until you get into the really high pressures. Get the 342. It has better resale value.

Like sonny basicly said they are just about the same thing but go with the hp for more breathing room later in your engines boost life..

Re: QUICK! which fuel pump do I buy? (fnananon)

All/Sonny,

I know the Walbro 255 supports 500-600 hp, but that is not my horespowe goal. Mine is 300-350. Would a Gss250/278 be sufficient for my horespower goal? They reason I don't like the 255 Walbro is because it makes a loud winning noise. I would like to get a fuel pump that is quiter? What do you guys recommend?
Thanks.
