Not surprisingly, you are missing what I am getting at. You have a fuel pressure regulation device designed to work with a mechanical lift pump that fluctuates from 5-30 psi based on age and engine speed, yes?

Then you bypass that low psi mechanical pump, and put in a much higher pressure pump, can the fuel pressure regulator keep up with it?

That is the core element of my question. Would it restrict the flow, and cause the high pressure ford pump to start to build up in pressure, creating a possible leak situation, or potential damage to something?

Its an expensive pump, why do it is my point? lots of other options
