Default How far can I go with my fuel pump

I have a 07 ap2 with the stock fuel pump and am wondering if I really need to change out the pump... I will be hoping to run a 3in pulley with 91 octane on my 1200 blower. How much can my stock fuel pump handle. Whats the most quiet pump if I do need one? Aeromotive 340?

I've been running one of the Full Blown Motorsports 340s for about 3 or 4 years. Very quiet. I can barely hear the prime and no sound after that.

The Walbro pumps are noisy.

Its about it being noisy, not the cost. If I dont need it for my current plans then no need in going threw the pain of installing it!

Does anyone know if my stock pump is up for the job.

I have the walbro 255 (I assume a newer one because I bought it new within the past couple months) and only hear it as its priming. Once the car starts I can't hear it...and I have a stock exhaust and cat, so the car is pretty quiet.

I used walbros on the civic I used to have. Pump was fairly noticeable when the fuel level was low.

I have a fullblown/aero/etc. 340 now, I only hear it when it primes.
