Question what brand fuel pump should I get ??

I know there is a few out there, Walbro, BBK, etc. Just wanted to know if there was really any difference from one to the other and what brand I should get.

I have yet to hear any of the major names to have issues. I used a Ford Racing 190 in mine.

Is there any better deal than this right here?

Should I go with the Walbro or summit?

Walbro GCA719-2 - Walbro Electric In-Tank Fuel Pumps

Summit SUM-250103 - Summit® Mustang In-Tank Fuel Pumps

when my gauge reads empty, I'll fill it and only put 11 gallons in to fill it. I think I need a new float or something. Where would I get one of those?

Don't forget the high flow fuel rails if you don't already have them. Maybe some 7/16 fuel line too.

Sorry, I retract my previous statement. Stock rails with the 24's will work. Sorry for the confusion. The standard line is good to about 300 horse. When you start getting into the 400 horse range then you will need the 7/16. But yes, the 5/16 or 3/8 line, whichever you have, will be great for now.

well this is what I'm planning on doing.
-AFR Heads
-TFS1 Cam
-Trick Flow upplower/lower intake
-73mm MAF
-70mm TB
-255lph fuel pump
-fuel pressure regulator

I think this will be over 300hp.

Now are you talking crank or rwhp?

I believe the fuel line upgrades regard to the power you are making at the crank. I'm not sure on that. I haven't heard a lot of people upgrade their fuel lines but they are making 320 horse or around that mark. Just keep an eye on the air/fuel mix and make sure it's not going to run lean. The upgrades you mentioned, you should be fine with the factory lines. If you decide to go forced induction or nitrous injection, then yes I would look into the fuel system a little deeper.
