Default C5 Walbro 450

So my c5 is currently in the shop getting a Maggie supercharger installed but need to upgrade fuel pump. I was looking at the walbro 450 and it always says e85. Is it only e85 compatible? Is there any others fuel pump you guys would recommend? I keep seeing the 255 but will definitely be looking to push more than 500hp after car is done

Generally speaking, if something is rated E85 compatible, it can be used for unleaded fuel too. That is not necessarily true the other way around. E85 fuel requires different construction materials to avoid degredation of those materials especially rubber.

Your best bet is to contact the manufacturer directly but I'm certain others on this forum have experience and knowledge too.

Good luck with your build.

You can run e85 or unleaded through the 450. I have two in my formula running 93 unleaded.
