Stock fuel pump

whats the boost limit you can run where the standard fuel pump will still flow enough to see good mixtures?

There is no simple answer.
I know cars that made over 240rwhp on the stock pump and reg, yet I know other cars that stuggled at 200rwhp.

I suspect that it largely depends on how old and worn the pump is?

My recommendation would be to shell out the $250 odd and buy a drop in Walbro replacement GSS342 kit (from memory).
When results speak for themselves - don't interrupt.
