My stang only has around 260hp. I have a Edelbrock Performer 600cfm Carb and Edelbrock Performer 289 Intake and Id like to pick up the Edelbrock Performer fuel pump #1725.

If you increase fuel pressure with a pump that can deliver more volume, then you'll also need a pressure regulator else the higher pressure will force the float valve in the carb open and you'll have fuel everywhere.
As others have said, stick with your stock Carter fuel pump and if you think its bad, replace it with another one.
