walbro fuel pump on stock car

My fuel pump is just about dead, and im in the market for a new one.

With that said, im leaning towards buying a walbro fuel pump rather than a regular replacement fuel pump due to possible future mods...not to mention the prices are nearly the same. I just want to upgrade the fuel pump now rather than later, to avoid having to end up replacing the stock pump for something better later on.

However, my 240 is currently nearly stock, with the exception of intake and exhaust.

I was wondering whether the walbro pump would cause any problems on a stock engine...especially if im expecting to use it for an extended period of time.

Is anybody running this pump on a stock car?

My pump went out a few months ago, no crazy mods, replaced it with the walbro one and it works great.

i mean a pump works in a loop, as fuel goes through the stock fpr whatever is not use is bypassed through the motor and goes back into the tank. you will probably notice that the car doesnt turn over as long as it did, mine is like instant firing with the walbro

Way to ressurrect an old thread but this is exactly what I was looking for. My question is what was happening to your car when your fuel pump started to act up Bryan?
