The pump won't raise your pressure. If your going to keep an in-tank pump I'd go with a Walbro HP 255lph. You'll have to get an adjustable regulator or do the mod listed on the Ultimite TBI tech page to make the factory regulator adjustable to raise or lower your pressure. I'm not sure how high of pressure the TBI can stand.

I had mine running at 25 psi for a little while after I installed the new spring. It didn't cure the knock problem though, so it's back to 22.5 psi, which I have ran for a long time. Only problem I have noticed with running higher pressures with tbi is fuel bouncing off the throttle blades at idle.
