lightning swap fuel pump ???

I'm about to do a lightning blower swap on my 2000 F150. I have already bought the supercharger set up with most everything I need. What type of fuel pump do I need? I'll run #42 injectors and it will be pullied for 12 psi. Will one 255lph pump be efficient? I may buy the comp cams xe 262 cam shafts but I have not decided yet.

Thanks
Eric

mike dunn at madenterprise can confirm everything for you, but you should be all set imo. i have a similar setup and have no issues with a 255 bosch pump.

Instead of starting a new thread I thought I would just add to this one.
After putting in the Bosch 255, does the running of the pump seem louder then the stock or is this a precursor to a failure.

How long has it been in there? You can hear a 255 bosch, but only if you are listening for it. Mine got louder as it began to fail but only after 10K miles or so. When I first installed it, it was loud, it was to low in the tank and resonating off the bottom.

Do you have a fuel pressure gauge?

A/F gauge? Any drivablity issues?

How did you wire the bosch?

It has about 400 miles on it. It was wired per Mike Dunns instructions. No fuel psi gauge and no drivablity issues

mine is pretty loud, but no drivability issues. been installed since early february. i thought it may failing too, but one of the techs at work says it just isn't insulated well enough and i hear the vibrations.
