fuel pump pressure

fuel pump pressure
Do the mechanical stock pumps always pump same pressure, or does it increase with rpm?
How much pressure can a Q-jet take before it unseats?
Thanks
added:
Is it possible for a stock Merc high volume pump to put out 20psi at 2000rpm? Curious if a buddy was sold the wrong pump.

Pump Pressure
Stock pump about 5 to 6.5 lbs depending on the RPM . Anything over that your asking for problems. Damaged needle and seat bent float arms from fuel comming past the seat. If your going to run a high volume pump put in a fuel regulator and set it about 5 to 6 lbs.

Ok, thanks guys.
This is a buddies boat been working on last couple weekends. stock '88 454. Dumps fuel past N/S. tried new kit, float and carb body, no change, thus eliminated carb as the culprit. He just put a press gauge on it today.

Some of the OEM Merc pumps are doing just that - too much pressure. We have warrantied a bunch.
