I have used the FCP fuel pump.
Yes it did put out more pressure than SUs require. I think around 5 or 8 psi or so. I did check it with a gauge, but just don't remember the exact figure.

HOWEVER, I have an in-line fuel pressure regulator to reduce the pressure to only around 1-1/2 psi. Of that, I am sure.

Given the choice, I'd also prefer a Pierburg pump that only puts out the lower pressure. But at the time, I needed an inexpensive replacement in a hurry and already had the fuel pressure regulator.

I do not fault FCP for carrying them, and I also carry a fire extinguisher in all my cars. Not just the old ones.
