Default clarification: (walbro high pressure 255) vs. (walbro 255) pumps. what's the actual difference?

what is the difference exactly? specific situation here is going boost, using an AEM FPR and dsm 450s with a VAFC. so...the fpr just makes sure that the fuel being delivered to the injectors isn't at too high of a pressure. so is there a benefit to the high pressure fuel pump or not? is it kind of a range situation, where the HP version is just build sturdier so it can handle higher pressures, or does it deliver it at a higher pressure all the time...?

and don't just say higher pressure is better, because you'd be wrong.

So basically if you're running 60 psi + then you should get the hi-pres walbro 255?
I didn't even know walbro made a hi-pres 255.
I going to see the guy i bought it from tomorrow and see what's up.

thanks for the link. so since they're the same price, is there any reason not to just get the high pressure version?
