fuel pump upgrade?

<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top width="100%">i have a 2000 f250 superduty 4x4 with the 5.4 v-8.my fuel pump is going out and i need to replace it.i will be doing a supercharger later this year but since i have to change the fuel pump now i was wondering who makes a 255lph fuel pump for my truck?i might as well upgrade the fuel pump now instead of doing it twice once im ready for the supercharger.will a stock lightning fuel pump assembly just plug right in?
thanks in advance guys!

I know the SuperDuty's have a larger tank. 30 gal vs 25 gal. Not sure on the interchange. You might check with the Supercharger company that you are going to get you supercharger from. They may offer something.

Yes,large capacity fuel pumps are a necessity if you want to keep the engine together. The OE pumps are rarely more than 100lph capacity-just enough to get by,and cheaper to produce. The 255lph Mustang pumps physically fit,and the electrical connections are the same,but there are minor mods to the pump retainer bracket to get the pump to fit properly and allow the "sock" to snap on. I'd recommend a Walbro 255lph pump if anybody's getting one-they're a reliable,high quality brand you can count on.

You can use the stock pump and injectors up to about 6psi, any bigger and you'll need 24 or 42lb injectors with the larger pump. At least one company makes the 6psi charger that is just about as plug and play as a supercharger can get.
