Walbro 255. Will it hold up

I have read that some people have lean out problems with this pump.

FC3S Store has a pump rated from more flow. Which one will work better?

Thanks,

This is to support a T04B 60-1 ported E6K Motor with 3" exhaust running 15psi maybe more one day.

No ****? You running all that with a Walbro? I was thinking I might have to upgrade to a big external pump by time I hit about 350hp.

1FastT2,

How are you logging it?
My lap top will be hooked up to the E6K and I will be using a base map from hitmans site to get me going.

Would be nice to log rpm/boost via A/F ratio

It should support a fair amount of HP, but it really depends on what fuel pressure you are running, etc. Straight HP numbers make sense for stock fuel pressure as an estimate, but if you are running higher pressure, it won't support as much HP.
