whats the most psi you can get out of a 95gph? can you get 40psi?

So a 95 GPH should be able to keep up with about 500 horses 1k torque on a 12 valve, right?
With the return... what exactly could the problem be? Is it because the return line is a smaller diameter (not actually sure of this... but I could upgrade it to 3/8)? Or is there some way it would back-feed something? I think I notices that the FASS unit had a check valve on this line so I do not think that there will be an issue with fuel going from the engine back to the filter. How would a PSI issue manifest itself? Low pressure at the gauge port or would I have to install another gauge for the retun line to make sure that does not get too high?
Concerning the connection to the engine... the part in question is listed as part # PL-1003 in the manual and in the instructions it looks like I am supposed to screw it into the top of the pre-filter/fuel heater chamber and there is no mention of removing any stock fuel components. I like the idea of having redundancy in that if one or the other pump fails, I can still limp the truck around. This will be an expedition-style vehicle and it has to be pretty reliable. From taking another look at the instructions it looks like this elbow is just there to help with routing and to use a removable threaded flare connection instead of a slip connection.
And... one more question. Is there any way I could order a spare pump to keep on hand (I also carry spare fluids, filters, and even major components such as an alternator and starter and misc. driveline stuff). If so, how much would it run for a 95 GPH 150 series pump?
Thanks for all the help.
Cool so if pressure gets too high, I need to play with the return side and if it gets too low, I need to upgrade to a 150 GPH pump, right? I think I read 7 PSI and below is considered low but what would be the limit for the high side? When does that spring normally open?
Also that part number you gave me for the pump... was that for the 95 GPH? If so, could I get the one for the 150 too in case I need to upgrade? Thanks again for all the help.
on a VP44 style truck you do not want to get any higher than 28 PSI for any length of time.
