I believe the fuel that the engine doesnt use, simply bypasses back to the tank, hence
the return fuel lines on fuel injected cars. I just put in a summit 255lph in the other day
and the pressure was the same, it fired right up, havent drove it on the street yet though.

good luck

since you have a return style system the lph of the pump won't matter the excess will be just returned to the tank...so if you plan to beef the engine up in the future or supercharge it ..just get a 255lph
