took me no more than 20 minutes, very very easy, didn't have to read any instructions at all. I always wanted to put a new fuel filter in there too( intank one), nice thing is the kit came with a new one.

is that the 255 lph? I saw it for $125 at alamomotorsports.com. Did you get the standard or high pressure version? I was wondering what the different versions would be used for.

I have not oticed any "rihness", but you can definetely hear it when you are stopped, it's very faint, but you will notice it.

They sound noting like the GM factory fuel pump, the Walbro is nice and quiet in comparison.
