Default Fuel pump help

I have a 99frc that I'm about to drop my new motor in. It.should be around 500rwhp N/A. It'll have 42lb injectors also. Will the stock pump hold up to this power level? Or do I need to look into another option?Maybe boost-a-pump? Thanks for any advise

I think YES it would be a good idea to get an aftermarket Hi Volume fuel pump ( not that expensive)
But You may run into other tuning issues with a 99 with 500 RWHP
A stock 99 MAF table ends at 12,000 HZ ---Often not high enough for certain Hi HP applications---Only way is to check with a data logger or real time scanner where your eng ends up at WOT----
This is only if you use the MAF and the STOCK open/closed loop tune-----
Your options would be to run a "speed density" tune or a Semi open loop tune

Ended up doing a AEM 320. The stock screws that hold the pump hat to the tank really suck to get out too!

Did you have to modify anything to fit the AEM pump?

The little pump on the bottom of the basket won't work with the new pump. So i took the flapper off son it had a better chance of fuel to get in. Other than that it was pretty much the same.
