If you're running an FMU it will up the fuel pressure sufficiently to support your setup, however in most cases the fmu is simply a band aid. To ensure that you have enough fuel delivery to the injectos for now and in the future (too 600fwhp) I would reccommend the racetronix 255lph walbro kit. It's cheap insurance that the fuel will be there if you need it (120ish).

There should be a booster pump with the vortech system. If you don't have that I'd recomend upgrading to a Walbro 255LPH pump, Get the High pressure(HP) model.
