Fuel system

[5.0Torx]

Hey all

Recently i put GTPs and exploder intake on my car along with a 70mm TB. I put the stock 19 pounders back on along with the stock PR.

My fuel pump has been whining for a while now and i figure thats probably the weakest link in the chain at this point. I was wondering what fuel pump would be good for a daily driver 5.0. If the bigass 255 doesnt whine like crazy then i suppose theres no reason not to, but i wanted to check with others that have put a 255 in theirs. How loud is it?

Also, I have an AFPR but didnt put it on because i dont have a gauge. Which gauge would be decent for my application?

TIA

My 255 lbs/hr Walbro is more quiet than the 60 lbs/hr 2.3 4 cylinder stocker that was in there. Also make sure that the insulation between the tank and body is correct. That will transmit the noise if the tank or lines aren't sitting correctly. Some loud exhaust will also handle that problem.

255s are fine, I just bought one off a guy today to replace mine. It'll support anything you want to do in the future too. Don't know why they don't just put these in our cars stock

Cool, thanks guys.

what about the fuel pressure gauge?

i agree with everything above, my 255 lph Walbro isn't loud at all and is almost completely drowned out by my exhaust


as for the fuel pressure gauge you can just get one for under the hood that screws directly into the schrader valve

Yeah, you can just get an underhood one, chances are you're not going to be tuning it that often. I have a comp phantom in car guage, but it's because I bought the short sweep one years ago for like 80 bucks, then it got recalled and they sent me a full sweep as the replacement I'll never buy anything but autometer now, I didn't even register it, I bought it from summit racing and they sent me the notice, two great examples of awesome customer service
