Default Fuel system supply pump?

Going to be running a fuel system with a swirl pot and a 044 pump, the 044 can deliver upto 200lph question is do you have to match or better that on the low pressure side to feed the swirl pot, only running 350bhp with 55lbs blacks at the min but want to cover future upgrades now.

Depends entirely how you plumb it.

And an 044 flows a lot more than that.

depends how you intend to drive the car.
the engine will not always demand the max supply from the 044, it peaks and drops around the revs and load.
what injector are you using, i'd mate the feed pump to the injectors flow rate.
i use 630cc injectors and my feed pump is a single red top facet, so no issues there.
