Simply, yes upgrade it. I mean its better to have the extra fuel there if needed(as long as you have something to control it with).

205L/hr is enough fuel for 570hp, so a pump rated at 205L/hr would be safe for up to 500hp. 278L/hr is enough for 775hp, so that pump would be OK for 700hp. This assumes these pumps actually flow what they're rated at. A pump's rated output should be treated with caution, but your GT-R pump will be fine for 350hp, as GT-R's make over 300hp stock.

If you are interested in getting a Walbro 340 (255lph hi pressure) I have a contact and get them for $115 which includes shipping. The Walbro 340 when hot wired to receive 14 volts will support in excess of 700hp reliably.

I'm sure the shipping cost to the UK will be more than the free shipping he includes in the $115 cost he promotes.

email me at gnx7@hotmail.com and I'll email you the link from where I got mine from.

I plan to run a single Walbro 340 (255lph) hot wired to 14 volts into the mid 10's. Great $115 pump.

This is true. The said standard rule of thumb for a GT-R fuel pump is 500HP. Most GT-Rs that run close to 500hp do an upgrade or add another pump.
