I'm planning on dropping my fuel tank to clean crud out and going to change pump while im into it. What size should I run? Factory OEM? Future plans will be 306 with a trickflow topend (Intake heads, cam etc) and 24lb injectors maybe 36lb if i need it. OR AFR 185s. But right around 400hp is my goal and NOT forced induced. I don't want to put a low flowing pump on now and have to change it when I have my build done. I will be putting on a adjustable FPR also.

If you plan to hit 400HP then I'd put a 255 in it.

Everyone else will say 255 but I say 190lph unless you want to go with a power adder.

Yea you really dont NEED the 255 but for 10 more bucks it wont hurt and you wont ever have to worry about changing it again. Factory OEM would be a joke. I went 190 kinda wish I went 255 though.
