Does it matter the gph on my fuel pump?

[nitequill]

Im rebuilding a 351W close to stock specs... does it matter what type or how much gph the fuel pump is? The pump im looking at now is a holley mechanical fuel pump,110 gph and the part # HLY-12-289-11. Would this be a good fuel pump for my build or should i go 80gph?

Why not just buy a stock replacement if that's all you need?

stock motor = stock pump

The high flow pumps (110gph is considered high flow for a mechanical pump and carb setup) will rob more power than the stockers will. It is not a big difference but you cannet get more flow with less work.

Agreed. The stock pump is actually quite capable, even after some engine upgrades.

Another vote for stock, plus its cheaper.
