You'll need a Roush or Lightning belt set up and some parts from Whipple to extend the blower pulley forward.
You can call Whipple and they can probably set you up with what you need.

And like everyone said,
you will need all the supporting mods or you motor wont last long at 16 PSI.

you can go with the Ford GT 310lph pump and then go to zone 5 and get the FPDM upgraded to 40A's or a Kennebell boot a pump to drive it. I think Troyer has a custom hat to mount up to 3 fuel pumps in the stock tank but not sure if he has released it yet. Also like Phil said you will need to get the Roush FEAD assembly then get a front snout to extend the pulley out otherwise you are limited to a upper pulley change only.

I run 2 Walbro 255lph pumps.
At 510 liters per hour,,I don't think I'll ever run low on fuel presser.
