I'm leaning torwards Walbro more, but BBK has some decent looking ones, but I'm not sure on the quality.

What size should I get for my car? 190 or 255?

edit: what size is the stock pump?

Most pumps are Walbro. I have heard the the bbk ones say Walbro on the side of them. For N/A and mild nitrous or boost 190 is fine if you have bigger plans 255. Or you can just go 255 and be done, wont harm anything but your wallet.

I heard the Ford Racing 190lph pump comes with fuel lines, or some other hardware that doesn't come with the BBK/Walbro pumps. Can anyone confirm this? I ordered the Ford Racing pump but it's in the mail somewhere right now.

i got my 255lph walbro off ebay for 75 bux shipped brand new about a year ago.

And yes most aftermarket fuel pumps are walbro and are bought by a 3rd market company to be protraited as there own brand.

yep, some just buy them in bigger bulk and sell them cheaper. most of the fuel pumps i've seen come with the hardware to swap them out. i would recommend replacing your filler neck gasket when you have the tank dropped. i replaced mine like they suggested and well mine was all crack and looked like crap. i'm glad i did it then, so i didn't have to drop the tank again later.

The Ford Racing pump is actually made by Walbro. I ordered my 190 lph from Mustangs Unlimited for $80 and that's what they told me when I ordered it. It came with some hardware, but I'm not sure exactly what was included (I didn't install it myself).


EDIT: The stock fuel pump is 88 lph.
