Exclamation UPGRADE FUEL PUMPS...Do i need them???

Hi guys

I have a question for you about walbor fuel pumps, i have been told that if you upgrade to them you have to install a diffrent fuel psi regualtor and cut out your factory resistor??? NOT sure if this is true or not, just looking to upgrade my factory pumps and injectors! Do you need a new tune when you upgrade the pumps and injectors?

Is there any way i could uses the factory Ford GT pumps, not a bad price or wont they work???

Thanks for the help
Adam

I swapped out the OEM pumps for Walbro 255's almost a year and a half ago. There were no other changes necessary or needed.

You will need a tune for the bigger injectors!
I have a full custom fuel system and run 2 Walbro 255s in the tank.The Walbros are not that expensive. I have 5/8 braided steel lines coming from the tank in to Aeromotive fuel rails. It's set up to run on 1 pump till it hit 3 PSI then the other pump kicks in.I have a little led on my dash to let me know when the second pump comes on.
If the GT pumps flow enough fuel for all you future plans then yes you can use them. but with 2 255s you should not have to worry about doing it again.
