Just about any elec pump producing 80-100psi could be made to work. Not sure what qualities you are looking to upgrade, though.

The OEM Bosch/Lucas pumps are more than enough capacity, high quality, long lasting

Cheers

my bosch came seised with the car, so i needed a new one, and i wanted an upgrade from the orignal becaus the orignal were quite expensive and for that money and with new technology i could have a far better race fuel pump

There are a few things you need to think of before buying a pump.

How much HP are you planning - this will let you select the flow rate.
How much do you want to spend

You could use a pump from anything with similar power to what you are planning or you could use Bosch or Walbro - 255LPH is good for around 500HP.

It does not matter if you go for a pump with too much flow as any additional will be returned to the tank. But going too small and the engine will lean out = CERTAIN DEATH.
