What is your goal?

Depending on power level will determine what size fuel pump you'll want to get.

That's really a broad statement.

How much power are you looking to make?

What type of forced induction?

What type of fuel? 91-93 octane - E85?

450 - 500 hp I was thinking about a Whipple or something along those lines, now I'm leaning towards a turbo. Truck is lifted with 34". Any good sponsors on here to buy a pump from. Thanks.

Are you looking for a complete basket or just the pump? I have both a new 255lph and 340lph sitting on the shelf if you are interested. Ended up building a different system and not needing the pumps. Either will drop in if your are handy. I'd go with a 340lph at minimum if your'e interested in FI though.

I doubt you will find a stock basket pump on rockauto that is going to have a enough fuel flow. It's easy enough to just swap out the pumps.

Agreed. Maybe buy a stock basket setup from RockAuto so you get a new sender and tank pressure sensor then swap in a 340 or similar before you install. Pretty straight forward and you'll be glad you did it now if you do decide to go FI one day. It'll be there waiting in your tank and not hinder your current performance at all.
