I like following your build, since it looks very similar to mine... with the exception of you got a few more things new. good luck!

Ordered a Walbro 190lph HP pump from Lightning Motorsports - Made with bits of real lightning, so you know it's good ! - Homepage[/url] It came out to $90 shipped with the Install kit. Got it a couple weeks back and finally installed it today. Bought some new fuel injection hose and fuel injection clamps to replace the 18 year old stock stuff. I bought enough hose/clamps to replace all the fuel lines on the car, but just did the ones by the pump for today

200-220 whp keeping power low enough to be able to track/beat on the car without thinking about my stock rods constantly.

The fuel pump upgrade wasn't about getting more fuel. it was about replacing a 18 year old pump. with as much money as I have put in this setup trusting it to the original pump seemed retarded.

Id like to someday build a motor with forged rods/pistons and go for 260whp and not have to buy injectors again. thats why I went larger than I need
