As you have used the words "for the time being" fitting a 044, will give you a bit more bhp capacity before a change.

Std will fuel to 400bhp no problem, ther eis very little flow difference between 941 and 044, the 044 has a much higher lockout at 18amps, and 12L/min I think it is, got the graph somewhere.

Fuel pumps dont "Run PSI" as such, they supply a measured volume of fuel in any given time frame and generally supply less and less vaolume as the pressure they are asked to do so at increases. Here are some charts to explain.





Its important to note that the electrical current consumption increases with fuel pressure.
