200HP seems to be the limit. At that point alot of NA guys just use TII fuel pumps. I don't know if they have alot of logic behind it but its what they do.

What have you done that you feel the need to upgrade?

Don't ever put a Walbro on an NA unless you have an adjustable regulator or you'll run stupid rich and lose power. It's a 500hp fire hose and is completely unnecessary. You need to be doing better than most NA owners here before you need to upgrade the pump.

Ok, thats what I thought, my pump gave out on me and I thought a good after market pump like Walbro would be better and more reliable...guess it to much for lil 'ole NA..
