Default Confused about fuel pump options

So I am installing my heads and cam (comp cams 224 and MTI IIEs) and shooting for 415 rwhp and 500+ on a 100 wet shot.

I think that my stock fuel pump is not up to snuff for that kind of power and would like to go to a bigger.

I was going to install one when I started my swap, but read a bunch about drilling your bucket and fuel starvation in the corners (I plan to open track her too).

My pump is mounted in my stock RX7 tank which does have a baffle in it.

Can anyone clarify what pump I should be using to support 500ish rwhp and not have starvation issues at high lateral Gs? Do I just need a 255 from anyone?

What sponsor is the best?

-Jason

Try to get ahold of a denso supra pump . #195130-1020

You have a denso pump in there already so fitment is the same as that guide and the flow rate data for all those pumps is also very nice.... They included the walbro in the test...

The supra pump will move more fuel last longer and be way quieter.
