Default 08 GMC Denali 6.2 fuel pump

Can anyone chime in and give me some advice.. 2008 GMC 1500 6.2 AWD none flex fuel and there is no fuel pressure control module. Can I put a Walbro 450 in the tank and use the stock lines and fuel rails with 80lb injectors?
shooting for 10lbs with e85. The truck has a trick performance kit with a 78/75 turbo.
Any help is very much appreciated!

Seems like it would work.

Might need a better pressure regulator because that pump flows a lot of fuel.

Would I be better off with a 255?

255 won't be enough for E85.

Shoot for a power level not a boost level and then see if you have enough pump and injector to support that.

Using a calculator you'll need over 300-320lph on E85 if you plan to make 550-600hp. Which should be fairly easy to make on a 6.2.

That’s where he wants to be so that’s why we picked a 450lph. We are trying to keep most things stock as possible. My buddy is competing against his brother in Rocky Mountain drag week this coming summer. So I’m trying to line it all out for him lol They are just doing it for fun.

The 450 works, but it overpowers the stock regulator. I was getting 75 psi at idle (commanded 58) and it wouldn’t run right. Others have seem to have better luck on stock set ups with the 450 than I did. however, ended up Taking the pump assembly apart and threw in the hellcat pump with an aeromotive regulator.

That’s what I was worried about. I definitely don’t want any problems. When you put the hellcat pump in what did you do for the return line?

The factory feed line worked as a return which I let dump right into the bucket.
