If you have the stock fuel pressure regulator, then you will have the same fuel pressure with the new pump as you did with the old pump. Excess pressure is "bled off" and returned to the tank. If you add an aftermarket rising rate fuel pressure regulator, you'll have to set line pressure and use a rising rate model so that the fuel pressure will rise with boost.

let's get back to my original question and if someone can provide me a simple yes/no answer I'd really appreciated it!
I have basic bolt-ons (cb, intake, dp, mp) and I'm running a pfc using the base map. I have a supra fuel pump sitting on my desk that I'd like to install. My question is can I just put that pump in and do nothing else and it would be perfectly fine?
ps. I know what FPR is and I still have the stock one in there.

The answer to your question is YES.

great! Thanks. Just wanted to make sure cuz I don't wanna keep fouling my plugs now you know. : )
BTW, I'm not trying to be ignorant. It's just that whenever I hear people asking "I have dp, mp, cb, intake, ic with pfc, am I running too lean?" And people would always tell them "either upgrade your fuel pump or your injectors and you'll be alright..."
So I assume that upgrading the fuel pump does make your car run a little richer??

The Walbro 255l/h pump will support about 500RWHP. They are built to exceed OEM standards and are very quiet. The Walbro GSL 392 is the inline one and I cannot remember the designation for the in-tank pump. I used 1 of these pumps and went 11.2@130mph. You can order them from Racetronix.com for about $119. You will also want to get the install kit for $9 and the metric/AN adapters for about $12. I think it was a total of $150 shipped to my door. I have been very impressed. You need to remember that MOST pumps will crap over 70psi as far as flow capability. So you need to set you baseline to something reasonable. I typically use the standard 43psi@0psi boost. So at 20psi I am only seeing 63psi fuel pressure.

i also think that a moderator needs to change the POLL. the nippondenso is the OEM supra TT fuel pump. by changing that you will see almost double for the supra pump then the walbro
