I find amusing for past years everyone goes out and buys these larger walboros and alot of fuel issues when for years ppl have made 1000rwhp with twin 255s...Tried and true over and over again
I personally had 1 car made 1008 rwhp on 25 psi using twin 255s...started with 44 base, stayed strong till about 68 psi before afr showed variations from slight drop of fuel pressure....dropped 68 to 62

Probably because most people run a higher base pressure. Yea you could get about 1000rwhp out of the twin 255s at 25psi of boost with a 45psi base. You could also get about 1400rwhp out of twin 400s at that same condition. Roughly the same price and installation difficulty so may as well go a little bigger.

Live and learn sometimes George. I ran a walbro 255 for years on my old setup. I thought I was doing myself a favor by going big the first time on this new setup.

I think this will work. I still just have bugs to get out.

Your Killing me! Might be temping though! Brandon has just gotten his truck rolling now. We both need to get our tuning setups done!

And you can't come up here with out going out of town and checking **** out. There is some cool stuff up here to see. I have been here my entire life so it is boring to me. But it's cool seeing it all. Nothing like a bear or a moose in the wild. Moose right outside the back door to the house. HAHA

There is if you have crappy injectors, or ones that are too small, but I'm sure you know this.

The new walbros are better than the old ones. That doesn't mean the old ones wont get the job done.
