That's a writeup I did on the Carter pump/Holley regulator installation. But it might not be of use to you since you want a quiet pump (those Carters are LOUD). However, if you contacted somebody with the knowledge (like maybe Summit or Respeed) and tell them you need a pump similar to the Carter but quieter, they might be able to steer you in the right direction.
I have also heard that it makes a difference whether or not you run a return line. So make sure you get that straight.
But overall, I think you will be much better off using a pump that gives you what you need, without going too far overboard. Too much pump will just cause strain in the pump, use more juice to run it, then have to be tamed down by an overworked regulator. But, I don't have gobs of experience in this, so maybe I've got it all wrong. 
Best of luck with your project....

I checked out the thread. I'm focusing on in-tank pumps only. So far my only options (that I know of) are to run a OEM FC pump with an Aeromotive A1000 Bypass Style Regulator. Or go with another GM TBI pump and use any universal bypass style regulator. I totally agree with you about running a return line. It's so much more consistent and I like the fact that it will keep the fuel/premix circulated well. Again, I am definitely on the same page with you on the last comment. The FC pump will give me what I need (quiet, in-tank, not voltage hungry, and DIRECT FIT!) butttt, , ,, , the regulator will be redirecting a mass volume of fuel and I'm not even completely sure that the Aeromotive A1000 will safely do this. Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention that this regulator is $150.00. If I have to purchase the regulator and a brand new pump, this set-up is obviously going to be the more expensive route.
So there you go, there are perks to just about everything. I just have to figure out what option has benefits that out-way the tribulations.
Thanks for the in put guys, if you have anymore ideas, hit me with it.
