Walbro 255 OEM replacement?

My fuel pump has taken a dump, my car is BONE STOCK. A new OEM pump is $350. Can I just buy a Walbro 255l and have the GM dealership drop that in (provided they will do it)? Will it look/perform like OEM? Will it draw more power, be noisier, overpower the regulator, anything like that? Will be be as/more reliable than the OEM pump? Will it drop in just like an OEM pump and require no "changes" of any nature?

Any other things im overlooking?

it won't just plug in, there is a connector on the stock pump if i remember and not one on the walbro pigtail. you can just use butt connectors.

2 ways I have stock removed pumps $50 or Walbro LS1 replacement pumps $149.99 The Walbro sometimes is a little louder than stock but other than that it will function and be as reliable as stock. Walbro make most OEM pumps so this is just a higher volume pump.
