Unless you're going to swap to a V8, anything above stock is wasted money...

i put a 255lph in the gas tank and a 50gph inline pump to . i felt a big difference compared to stock when flooring it in my modified v6.

a 255L / hr pump is pushing about 58US gal/hr

the additional in line pump would be a restriction in my opinion.

3.8 & SO 5.0 use a 60lph pump, HOs use a 88 & the Super Coupes use a 95lph...

I doubt the stock fuel line fittings will even flow 255lph, I have a 190lph in mine...

the inline is a direct fit like the stock inline pumps. also the 255lph work great with the stock fuel lines till i upgrade the fuel lines.

My fuel lines work fine too, but I didn't say fuel lines, I said fittings...

Have you ever looked at the opening in the male connectors??? May be 1/8"...
