I am using a Walbro GSL392 also called a walbro 340. 255LPH inline pump. Same as the Vortech pump. I got mine new off ebay for about $125.

You need 58PSi at the fuel rail.

With a stock engine, why would you want to run a Extrenal pump ? most likely your got a lot of over kill for a stock engine, unless your looking to have a Pro Street look on the car !

Seem to be a lot of un-needed nose and you would still have to worry about the staving of the pump and need baffles/slump? If you run a slump on your stock tank.. it might not be highway/law approved and your open for tickets.

But, just asking and putting my 2 cents in.
