Im not totally sure, but I'm gonna say yeah. I run an SVT Focus pump and it was close to maxxing out at 350whp, and your gonna be running way more than that. I think the svt focus pump is 205 lph or 225lph i cant remember.
I'm sure Ub or someone else will come in here and give you a good recommendation on what you should be running fuel pump wise. You might need bigger injectors too, but again im not too sure on that.

yea, that single pump and 36# injectors arnt going to cut it. You will need at least 60# injectors and a bigger fuel system. The fuel pump system you use if going to be up to you. Also, throw that typhoon intake in the trash. It will flow less than the factory intake and will heat soak.

No big deal, I made the same mistake with the t rex pump. A return style regulates the fuel pressure and when it exceeds that number, it sends back the excess to the fuel tank. A returnless monitors the pressure and varies the pump output to keep the pressure at a certain number. It goes a little deeper, just google it if youre curious. Lots of good write ups
