Seems to match up close to the specs of the walbro 255 that many use. Should be ok. Double check the walbro specs and make sure.

I have the GM34UFI tank in my LS1 Chevelle and I have had a recurring fuel pick up problem at about 1/4 tank. I have been talking with Spectra about a solution that they acknowledge and are supposedly working on a solution but after two months no resolution. It works fine above that level but the motor starves for fuel in a corner and will die if you don't catch it first.

I am not the only one to have this problem so I wanted you to know before you buy one. I have a single feed LS1 setup and I am thinking about modifying it to a full return line setup that might help alleviate it.
