Default NNBS Walbro install

Has anyone done a Walbro 255 into a NNBS? I know some of the NNBS have a variable speed control module for the pump. Has anyone run into issues with this? I'm going to put it in tonight and want to be on top of my game.

i havent heard anyone put a walbro 255 in a 07+ yet, but if its like the 99-07classic dont you have to trim the bucket or something like that bc the pumps longer? i dunno for sure, i think i remember reading something about that.

I'm not worried about the bucket. The only thing I'm worried about is the variable speed controller.

Couple guys off the top of my head you may want to ask on here are Daryn C, and Smokeshow (formerly anasasisxenophontis). Both are building turbo'd GMT900 trucks, although I don't know the details of their fuel systems.

It's a shot in the dark, but it might lead to what you're looking for.

The Walbro didn't fix my fueling issue so I guess I'll be getting rid of the stock regulator and putting a Vette style regulator and a hotwire kit in.
