Is the pump enclosed in the stock fuel bucket? Not running one of those can overheat and kill a pump quickly. The bucket is there to keep the pump submerged in fuel and cool regardless of the level of fuel in the tank.

Now I'm not saying you don't know what you are doing, but plenty of people putting down excellent numbers, and running a single walbro for years with no problems. I could see a manufacturing flaw on one but three?? Seems like you might have something irregular causing the pumps to fail prematurely. What kind of fuel socks are you putting on the pumps? also what fuel filter brand are you running?

Pump doesn't suck, you have other issues.
Dirty tank, filter falling off, unclean installation, running pump dry, overheating it by not keeping it submerged, hoses degrading, etc...there are a LOT of ways to kill a pump, but the walbro 255 can handle a lot more then you are making, reliably.
Keep in mind those fuel pumps have very tiny, fragile plastic gears inside them that can be damaged by just a few grains of sand.

We have install over a hundred Racetronix kits and they just flat work. I here people all the time say they put a walbro pump in and did not do a Racetronix because it is cheaper.
I always find it interesting that it seems easier for them to spend the money two or three times over again then do it right the first time.
My first Racetornix pump is stil going in a second car now. I want to say I put it in my car in 2003 and daily drove it for 30k mile in my car. made over 680RWHP with just the one pump and it never skipped a beat. It is now in another car and has another 80K miles on it daily driving run 11s at will.
Good luck with your issues man
