Default upgrading fuel system

i want to upgrade my fuel system so i can retune and get some more power. right now i have a single walbro 255lph and 42lb injectors. and i was told i'm not gettin enough fuel and i'm running only 350whp and 380wtq. what should i do to upgrade the fuel system? would a boost-a-pump work to get me around 420-450whp? if i have to go with a cobra tank and pumps i will but id rather not at this point just for money's sake.

Well first things first, a walbro 255 pump will not work correctly (or last very long) in a return less fuel system. It needs to be replaced with the correct pump I would suggest a SVT Focus pump or Ford GT Supercar pump. If you want to make sure you have enough fuel after that install a 20AMP BAP.

really? i didn't know that. maybe i'll try and go with a FORD GT pump and see if that will get me enough fuel cuz that should be like isn't it like 285lph or around there. and see if i can get by without the BAP.
