Default Corvette fuel pressure and regulator question

Will a single-6 feed line to a corvette fuel pressure and regulator to the tank support 700-800 rwhp with the correct fuel pump?

No. At that power level you should run a by-pass regulator in the engine bay with a probably a -8 line for both feed and return, and a hi-flow filter.

Is this a forced induction setup?

I have heard that the Walbro 400 pumps don't do well with FI. Can't recall where I read that or the reason why...
