a 190 is over twice as large as the stock 88, so unless you really really need it, I don't think a 255 lph pump is necessary right now. stock is good for around 300 HP, so do you really need a larger one?????

u could do the 255lph for the Nitrous but IMO the 190lph should hold the juice and be good for driving around too. The 255lph might be a bit much if ur driving ur ride during the week. For the most part, i always think that ppl tend to go overboard with stuff like fuel pumps and injectors and stuff. (Get this one!)
