Default fueling 6bt 97f350

i am putting a 6bt in my 97 crew cab, im trying to figure out the fuel, i heard the ve pump cummins needs a feul pump that runs 90gph at 13 to 16 psi, the stock tank ford ones will not keep up the the gph. is there a replacement pump i can put in tank that will have about 100gph at 1 psi so i can bypass the mechanical one and keep everything the same? or run the stock electric tank pump with the mechanical dodge pump?

Is the fuel pump in the front tank of a 97 f350 exterior? It looks like a pump in frame right next to tank? If its not pump what is it

I've done alot of reading and everywhere I have researched it has says a 1997psd does not have electricfuel pumps??? I thought it had tank pumps along with the mechanical lift pump, and the tank switch changed tanks by turning on the opposite tank pump? What is true?

its a cheap pump from o'rieliys its a 5-7psi pump inline style like 20-30 bucks
was your truck a factory gas or diesel the factory diesel had a pump on the motor the gas had one on the frame.What ever you do DO NOT EXCEED 15PSI on a ve it will push the front seal in the pump out and ruin the motor
