Great #'s Kentv6!!:waytogo::waytogo: Glad you got it all straightened out.

Now that has me concerned about my set up as I have a walbro 255 intank pump. :( Debating on twin pumps, bigger pump or 255 with Kenne Bell boost-a-pump. Im leaning towards the boost-a-pump.

How many #'s of boost did you end up making??

The 344LPH fuel pump did it, tuned finally. Made 404RWHP and 516RWQ.

Kentv6.. Could you please tell me the part# on your walbro 255lph pump you have because they have different versions. (standard and high pressure for boost) Mine is the GSS340 (high pressure version). Just want to know if we have the same pump.

Same part number as mine was. Maybe I got a bad pump. A lightning runs two pumps at the same time. It just adjusts the ground side to more or less resistance. I think they were duel 155lph. The lightning guys were installing duel 255LPH pumps in place for more fuel.

Hey Kentv6, you had me concerned about my walbro 255 fuel pump. So I just ordered an Aeromotive 11142 intank fuel pump. (340lph) Hope this is correct fit for the tank. I know aeroforce makes gauges but found no fuel pumps so I hope you meant Aeromotive. :hmm:

So how much boost did you end up with??

I have a 2# crank pulley so it should be set up for 10#'s boost but i'm afraid I will end up with 8#'s or less with the heads, cam, and porting. That is unless the blower porting picks it back up. (doubtfull)

You ordered the right one. I'am at 16psi boost. and running 01' mustang stock camshafts. 2004 Gt-40 rods and pistons. I also up graded my wiring to 12gauge to the pump. I just made 13MPG on a 300mile trip. Not bad
