I figured while I have my fuel tank out of the car I'd replace the 190 with a 255 in anticipation of future upgrades. The 190 I took out is a Walbro and they've always served me well. What I'm wondering is, are these other brands like BBK, Holley, Trick Flow etc all basically made by Walbro and then branded with these other brands or do some of these companies actually make their own pumps? If so, are any of them superior to the Walbro as far as pressure, performance, or longevity?
Thanks.

Last I heard walboro made most of the pumps and they were just rebaged. There used to be a guy selling them on eaby for great prices, not sure if hes still around.

I looked everywhere and they were far and away the cheapest for real walbros.

Thats the what I thought of when I read the title.


This thread is nice and timely, I'm in the market for a pump too, and that place has great prices.
