89 lx 5.0

I'm thinking if swapping out my stock fuelpump for a 255lph.
At the moment I have a stock motor, but I will be doing a cam, gt40 heads tubular intake with some 24 pound injectors. I don't want to over do it on the pump, but I don't want to have to buy another if I get a 190lph. What are your guys thoughts.

Thanks Aaron.

A 190 will be plenty for that combo. Disclaimer: if you think you'll go even further with the buildup, go with a 255...
