Default 6.0L Fuel Pump Limits

How much power can you make with a 6.0L truck before it's time to change the pump and what pump would you recommend if you're looking to make approx. an additional 150hp to the wheels? The truck currently has 42lb. injectors and a stock pump.

Thanks

Add at least an inline walbro pump. That should support an extra 150 without issue. But if the truck already has lots of miles, I'd just upgrade the tank pump with a walbro.
