Does anyone know the maximum horsepower for a 155 Lph BBK fuel pump? What about a 190 Lph pump? I'm not sure which one I need.

No matter which pump you get, there will come a time when you need a bigger one.
You will save money in the long run if you just start with a 255lph. It's only about $20-$30 more for the bigger pump.
I would recommend the Walbro GSS340
JD's Performance has great prices AND service

Good Luck

yeah get a bigger fuel pump because as long as you have a regulator you'll be perfectly fine, you wont be dumping any more gas then your regulator permits. plus you may need it later down the line. [Big Grin]

Is the motor NA or power added? What fuel pressure will you be running?

I don't need a Fuel pressure regulator. I'm going to stay with the stock pressure and stay NA. I will have about 300 horsepower. What pump do I need?

Just get the damn FPR and not have to worry about picking the exact fuel pump. It's always better to have. Get the 255 lph now cause you might only want 300 now but down th road you may want more. Give yourself future options [patriot]

What do I adjust the pressure to if I get a 255 pump?

The stock regulator will keep the same pressure (40psi) inside the injector rails virtually regardless of fuel pump size/pressure. This is why its called a "regulator".
