Walbro 255 LPH reasonably priced readily available and easy to install.

Im pretty sure the z32 fuel pump is 255lph, i've never had any problem squeezing 50 60psi out of it (reliably) with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator.

The other thing is it's much larger (physically) than the walboro, and is much more resistant (in my experiance) than the walboro when it comes to picking up air due to fuel slosh. Where as i would replace a walboro every 3-4 months (because of the way I drive) i've had the z32 for a year and a half no, with no drop offs in pressure or resistance. And the one i have is used.

Now if you plan on drag racing with a relatively full tank at all times or the quick burst down the interstate then walboro will be fine. But if you plan on some serious twist/turn abuse over the course of you're driving experiance, i would suggest even a used z pump.

Conventioally though, i am standardizing all my vehicles to a stock tank with an intank z32 pump, and an external 300lph BBK external into a catch tank/slosh tank, for the sanctity of detination under lateral load.
