Default Fuel pump upgrade

Stock fuel pump is starting to go out on me. Going to be building this truck to make roughly 500-600 hp with a TPP turbo kit. What fuel pump/injector set-ups are you guys running? Thanks for the input!

AEM 320lph with 60lbs injectors if you are on Pump gas. If you are going E85 then Walbro 450 and 80lbs injectors.

This ^^^ or even better a walbro 450 , that's what I run along with a racetronix hot wire kit and 60lb injectors .
Works for me but I also run meth .
Don't run a pump that's not a walbro , a walbro is proven and reliable.

Atomic- or anyone that can help. I am new to the truck game, this will be my first build. I see most of you saying to run these 400lph or 340's? Do you have to modify the stock hat and if yes or no is there a link for these pumps? or is it just a typical 340 or 400lph pump you are buying off lethal performance or another performance company and where do you get the pigtail adapter or how are you wiring them up?

Thanks

I personally dont like the 340 because the output is not barbed or beaded, and can blow off a hose rather easily. Seen it happen. Any aftermarket pump will require modification, but if you stay with a single pump modifying the top hat is usually not needed. Most of the pump kits come with a pigtail but you can always solder you own wires where they need to go. I recommend upgrading the wiring any time you upgrade the pump. I bought mine off ebay actually.
