Default getting new injectors, do I need a new fuel pump?

I am planning on getting some new 42# injectors soon and I was wondering if I need to get a new pump. Right now I have a 190 lph. Should I upgrade to a higher flowing one? If I shouldupgrade the pump,which one should I get?

Edit: With my setup do I need to upgrade the fuel system? Besides the stuff listed in my sig the car also has an SVO 70mm tb, a pro m 77, and that is about it as far as hp mods go. I figured since the car is supercharged it would need 42#ers but I wasn't sure. I just want to be on the safe side I guess.

You may as well. They're not that expensive anyway. Get a focus fuel pump. That should be all you need on stock internals.

Its the size of the injector that dictates the size of the fuel pump. Engine internals don't play into it. Yes, with 42lb injectors you will need a higher rate fuel pump (255). Do you really need bigger injectors? What else are you doing with your car?I don't have a recommendation on a brand.

get a ford GT supercar fuel pump it pumps 310 lph and you'll never have to worry about fuel again .

Since I have a 190 pump I don't think I can get him a stock pump. Well I actually may have the stock one somewhere, but I doubt it.

What is the focus pump rated at lph wise? I was told it was 190 lph, which would be the same as the one I have in there now.
