was the car trying to turn over at all. Have you made sure its not a battery/ignition problem first.
If you do replace the pump dont get a 255. Only get the 190 from walbro

Can you do a pressure test? Also, it's winter time which means gas staions are getting the winter mix fuel in so maybe you got some bad gas...I know last year I got some gas in my dealership demo and my Jeep both the same day at the same gas station and they both ran like sh!t so I ran it out of them both and put some higher octane in the next tank and all was good after that...How about running some higher octane fuel in the next couple of tanks with some fuel system cleaner and see if that will work. Have you checked plugs and wires as well?

I get plenty of juice to the plugs. It does fire, and try to start. It would fire and run like garbage for a few seconds then just die. after a couple of minutes I could repeat the process with the same results. If I tried to start it up immediately after, it would not catch. It would jsut continually turn over.
I only run premium grade fuel (usually from the station at the end of my street), and I've not had any issues with my cars, tahoe, and mother-in-law's car. The station I mentioned does serve 106 octane race fuel, heh. I did put that in by accident when I first moved to Charlotte. It made my wife's 2000 accord run like a beast for a while.
What is the difference between the 255 and the 190? just curious. I will tune this car to +/-350 hp over time. Would the ability to have higher fuel flow be a benefit?

the difference in the pump is the ammount of fuel that flows. And the problem your gonna have with the 255 is you will have bad fuel pressure issues making you need a fuel pressure regulator. I think for your goals the 190lph will be fine.

check your electrical connectors for the injectors, crank, and cam angle sensors. My car did the same thing and it was just a loose cable. I think the vacuum line popped off of the mdp sensor too, so a boost leak check wouldn't hurt
