is a 255lph pump to much for a stock 5.0L, mine is going out and I want something that will grow with possible future mods to the car?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't he just get the 255 pump and an adj. fuel pressure regulator and dial in the correct fuel pressure? That way when the other mods come, he'll already have the fuel pump done with instead of having to get a bigger one.

Uhh no its not to big. ur injectors are going to still put out the same amount of fuel so just get it now and u'll be set for future up grades. Im basicly saying what the previos guy said so get it . Walbro 255's are only 100 bucks.
