What's the HP level that you'll be running with the NOS. Is it a stock rebuild? The switch to a walbro 255lph pump is pretty easy and costs about $125. Its worth the extra insurance.

$100 from me....

I would run one. The stock pump runs out of juice quickly as I've found out in the past.

Consider using two stock pumps.
