need help with fuel system mods for KY turbo header setup... and injector decision So im trying to prepare for my ky turbo kit which is ~4 weeks out. Josh informed me that i would have to relocate the fuel line to the rails. Says he uses a nylon braided fuel line run from the fuel filter to the rails. Sounds easy enough but i am having a hard time finding the correct fittings i will need to do this. Assuming im going to need a quick connect fitting that fits the fuel rail... I really dont know how the fuel line will have to be routed until after i get the kit i guess. cant find any pictures anywhere.
As for the rest of the system... Power goals are 600 rwhp max right now.
INJECTORS. Thinking mototron 60#'s. How will these tune on a 5.3 with ls6 cam. Too much fuel for idle or good to go?
Pump thinking racetronix 255 kit right now, twin setup or boost a pump later on when i forge the bottom end. Considered the 340 pump from aeromotive, but it seems this may require a better FPR for low load?
I dont want to go hog wild building a 1000 horsepower fuel system im never going to use. Even when i forge the bottom end 700 rwhp is gonna be about the limit, and i will revisit the fuel system again at that time. right now building for 600 rwhp, dont care if i have to do it again later on for more power.
thanks for suggestions!

Doing the math you will be right at the limit of the 60's at 600RWHP.
The mototron's are a good injector.
What kind of intake are you going with? I'm assuming LS1/6 since you said the Siemens injectors, I can do the Siemens 60's for $369.95 for the set of 8, flow matched within 1%, viton o-rings installed, and a 1 year no questions warranty.
