Default Chevelle FI fueling question

I am doing a turbo 5.3 swap into a chevelle and am considering tanks inc's tank setup for injection. I will more than likely run the stock rails with return on the 5.3 with braided lines to the tank. Probably 60lb or so injectors. This is just a DD and will be driven all day everyday in 100+ degrees.

Tanks Inc offers internal walbro 255 or 400 for the setup. My concern is if I go 400 will the fuel get hot as hell? Would a 255 internal and maybe a 255 inline on a hobbs give me any extra volume?

I dont have a huge budget so if at all possible I would like to stay away from pump controllers and all that.

What you guys think?? Thanks for input!

in tank 255 will be fine, or go with the 400 if you plan on more power down the road

Thanks for the input guys. I havent seen the tanks inc in person so im glad to here that. It looks good and you cant beat the price IMO.

The single 255 seemed fine for a 76mm with 60 lbs when I ran the numbers but I see people running multiple pumps and giant pumps.. Just thought maybe i was missing something.
