Ok I'm stuck on this.. In the near future. after a alot of mods to my motor.. I'm planning on adding a supercharger with like 15psi of boost and some big ass injectors so i need more fuel to feed the beast.. Since my 01 gt has a returnless fuel system (or so i have been told) who or where or how can i get a 255gph fuel pump that will work on my car... I've heard of people using 2 focus fuel pumps . but i'd rather do it the right way.. any ideas

Here is an article where they compare several different setups. Most would agree the best way to go is probably the 03 cobra tank and pumps. It will set you back about $700 for part alone though.

15 lbs of boost on a stock bottom end!?

Man do some more research before you start worrying about a cobra fuel pump. If you "want to do it right" I hope you plan on rebuilding your bottom end to all forged if you wanna even be near 15 lbs of boost. Understand a stock bottom end can only handle so much boost, 8-10 lbs MAX. most guys run 6-8 lbs on a stock bottom end, which I assume you have. Since your car has been sprayed hard as well(100 shot) then I assume your motor doesn't need much more abuse, much less 15lbs from a blower

I don't think the fuel pump needs to be touched if you just run 8 lbs on the stock bottom end, but if you plan on rebuilding to get close to that boost, you should get the cobra fuel pump, billett oil pump gears etc. good luck
