You could probably get away with a factory FG pump, but I'd rather know the pump could easily keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it uses a 540lph walbro, that's pretty huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will also need to upgrade the power cables to the cradle, as that pump will eat around 22amps and the stock wiring is proberly only good for 14a. 320 Kw you will proberly only need around 200 LPH of fuel flow, have you considered just using a 255lph drop in fuel pump? this would mean you dont have to change the fuel pressure regulator, nor the wiring. if you plan to use the car in a way that the fuel will slosh around, like hard cornering accelerating for bulk periods of time, then you might actually be better with a surge tank and pump setup. for that power level you could use your stock in-tank pump as a lift pump and fit whatever pump you want tot he surge tank to guarantee its allways got fuel flow. usually the surge tank will be closer to the engine bay to, so running the upgraded fuel pump wiring is somewhat easier.
