I would use the 255 just for the insurance.

But I also look at cheapest route first. ;D

use an evo 8 pump.

Those are only rated at 160, despite what the internet would have you believe.  That being said, evo's make 300+ on stock pumps all the time. 

190 is plenty for your application. Change your fuel filter, and watch your afr's.  If you are running out of fuel, you will know.

That is pretty much what i figured, thx Rob.  If i add fuel and it doesnt richen then i need a bigger pump.

miata people use 190HP walbro pumps all the time for 300whp. 255 is kinda overkill, and supposedly at higher pressures and lower volume rates, the 190hp is actually the better pump.

255 is a 650+ whp pump.  What's 74.5% of 650+?


In the same subject, what is the rate of honda gas pump?

If you run 12 gauge power and ground to the factory pump, 325 whp Mustang/375 whp Dynojet.  Honda-Tech will tell you "300 whp" or "impossible"

Seems like the CDM pumps are hit and miss.  Ive ran them in my last 3 builds with no problems.

I've never seen or heard of a problem with the CDM 255's.  Which are what most people who think they have Walbros actually have.
