I think im going to have to put a fuel pump in my car but before I buy one I need some advice.

The reason I think I need one is that when my car reaches 5k it starts missing. I know its not the ignition system since I have a new Accel dizzy and coil. I installed a fuel pressure guage on my fuel rail, before swapping the dizzy when the pip went bad, and it read low at idle (about 30 pounds) and when I rev it to about 2k it drops to about 27.

My future plans (within a year or two) is to drop a 408 between the frame rails and I want a pump that will work with my current setup (believed to be a stock 302) and that will also work when I swap the motors. Also I plan on fuel injecting the 408.

Whats the best pump I can get for that app. without spending a crap load of money?

Is Walbro the best one out there or are there other ones?

Walbro makes the stock pumps. i just installed a 255 in my car i tihnk it was just over $100. its actually way quiter then the stock one but that could be because mine was going bad

I have a question. I have a stock 90 gt but in the future planning on mods. I need a new fuel pump and was gonna go with the walbro 255lph. Is there any reason I should or shouldnt get the 255lph high pressure as opposed to the regular 255lph?

You only need the high pressure if you'll be running boost. Otherwise the standard 255 will be fine.

I probably will just get the standard. I guess what Im asking is...is there any negative effects to running the high pressure on a stock or na motor? If not wouldnt you just have the option for boost if you get the high pressure? Also, do you have any idea if that is a pretty reputable site? Thanks for the advice.

I run the standard 255 in mine. Didn't know about the other beforehand. Mines a Holley but it and most are made by Walboro. I bought it from Summit.
