Based on owner comments, you have 2 solutions:
- you take the tank out of the car
- you cut the lines, change the fuel pump and replace the cut lines with soft ones.

I'd rather drop the tank but it's up to you

when just swapping stock pump to 255 walbro. Do you have to do anything else.

SOmeone told me I would need a FPR that the factory wouldn't work and just swapping pumps would cause me to run super rich.

No, very easy. Just don't break the plastic parts...... took me 30mins max, 10 to swap the parts out since I didn't buy the install kit.

I have dropped tanks before... pain in the ***, going through the top is much easier.

Just be careful. To state the obvious we are dealing with high pressure fuel here.

does bigger pump always equal to more gas consumption? or will engine just use as much as it needs?

Yeah the fuel pump install was a snap, just don't be like me and fill up the tank and then decide to do it haha, luckily when I pulled the pump out the gas was low enough in the tank that it didn't spill everywhere.
