Default Need some help on fuel pump decision 🙇

Hey guys could use your help on a fuel pump replacement, I have a 2001 Bolt on gt, everything besides headers and pulleys on a dinky superchips hand held tuner.

The fuel pump has recently decide to start hissing like a wet cat, above 4000rpm the car gets choked to death.

Anyways wondering if it's worth going with a highflow replacement or just a regular OE replacement.
Any ideas?

Well, it's hard to tell your power level from that description. But if it's just the basic bolt ons, a stock replacement would still be fine. But if you'll be doing more mods in the future, HCI, etc, a bigger pump wouldn't hurt if you did it now.

I agree. If you have the funds do a walbro 255That way you have plenty of pump for future mods. If not the stocker will be fine.
