Default Walbro 255 Fuel Pump

Does anyone know where i can get one for a decent price and which model i would need exactly? i have found a couple but i want to make sure i am ordering the correct one and at the best price possible.

Also possibly where i could find a set of 30# SVO injectors too?

Thanks!

Give Racetronix a shout. They offer a fuel pump and wiring harness kit that boosts voltage to the pump. Or, if you just want the pump, they can offer that to you as well.

well im just wondering what i would need i guess, my car kinda feels like it starts to fall on its face top end, and its got 115k on the stock fuel pump so i figure it wouldnt hurt to replace it anyway since i am cammed and race occasionally on the weekends.

Replacing the fuel pump can be a labor-intensive job if you go about the traditional method of replacing it by dropping the tank (as opposed to the "cut the hatch" method). Before you engage in such an endeavor, why not pick up a fuel pressure test gauge and do some simple diagnostics to determine your pump's health?

i was personally thinking about doing the cut the hatch method, as it wouldnt bother me one bit because it will all be covered by carpet, but i dont have a fuel pressure tester, is that something i can rent from Autozone or another auto parts store?

Most any parts store will carry it. Less than $20, and it should be in every LT1 owner's toolbox!

I agree with the above. I called him on a saturday and he was very helpful with advice and not short with his time. I'll be buying my next fuel setup from him next month.

You can do it yourself (access door), not to take away from anyone, but i did mine in about 30 minutes, that was takeing out the pump too, it is not that hard, just get the template of where to make your cut, i think shoebox has it, i bought my Walbro 255 pump from EPP for 100.00 back about 8 months ago, its still working great, it holds it own with full bolt-ons & 100 shot. But before you start tearing things apart, make sure you check FP 1st.
