Ordering Walbro 255

[Steel185]

I've searched around this site and others and read most of the posts, my questions is when ordering my Walbro 255 the prices are anywhere from $95(ebay)-$149(racetronix) and several in between. I have a CC503 motor with the usual bolt ons, 30lbs injectors and plan on a 100-150 shot in the future. I'm thinking i can just get the basic Walbro 255 stock replacement and should be fine. Is there something I'm missing? I'm not set on ebay, I'd rather order from a reputable dealer but why the big price jump? different product? Model? or more pump than i need?

I've heard there are a lot of counterfeits out there... which is the reason I chose Racetronix. ALthough, my S-10 Walbro 255 pump was cheaper than that.

it was cheaper than $99 where did you get it? I bought one for my GN several years ago but can't remember where or how much i paid.

No, it was cheaper than $150 :D
I bought it through Racetronix and spent ~$115-$120 shipped.
The syclone pump is listed at $102... but that does NOT include any wiring harness, ground upgrade, or what have you. It simply came with the little pig tail to adapt stock wiring to walbro pump, the couple inch section of submersible fuel line, hose clamps, sock, tank O-ring... think that was all.

Honestly, I'd like to know the difference. Looks like the LT1 kit comes with a push lock fitting... so maybe there IS a difference in the pump.... but the $50 increase seems high.

Race tronix is plug and play.... ebay ones are not....

This is correct. I have ordered both and the guys who installs mine has done others from ebay and about any other place and that is the only difference. Labor for me is only $20 difference so ebay was still cheaper.
