Default Fuel pump question

Does it matter what size fuel pump i get ? I was lookin at 190lph or bigger, any input, mods are below.
And what brands to lean towards.

Cant go wrong w/ 190+ the excess fuel just dumps back into the return line.

I have 155 BBK. But that doesnt really matter cuz they dont actually make it, so the brand doesnt matter much.

I have a walbro 155lph. Only problem I have is that my A/f shifts a lot leaner now. OEM computer compensating. It makes me a little bit nervous to gun it. But im hoping the computer will learn and not go as lean as much. I have been babying it around a lot more.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would you have sex with the cheapest condom? Probably not.

Get a Walbro. 95 5.0 Are you planning on modding your car at anymore? Nitrous, SC, TC....hell even a good HCI kit will call for more fuel.

Spend the $125 and get a Walbro 255lph in tank pump. You will have peace of mind...that your fuel pump wont fall behind and make you lean. Lean is bad.

Wouldn't you want to upgrade you fuel lines with a 255? Thats a lot of pressure.
