Default trying to decide on fuel system options?? 370/4l80e with a 80mm

Ok just looking for a little fuel system help here, im running a 07 silverado classic with a forged 370/l92, built 4l80e, 3200 stall and a front mounted 82mm turbo kit. looking to make 800-900 horse out of it when finished but not sure what fuel or fuel system to run. I have alreday ran -8 feed and -6 return lines and was planning on running twin Aero 340's in tank with the second on a hobbs switch but now im having second thoughts of just going with a 20 gallon fuel cell in the bed and a big single Magnafuel or Weldon pump? It has a holley high ram with their fuel rails and a Aero A1000 1:1 boost ref. Regulator on it now. It sees a lot of street use and car shows along with the track once every couple weeks. So what are your thoughts on fuel (gas/e85) and pump setup? Thanks in advance guys for any help!

If you dont like the double pumpers than just go to Magnafuel 4303. Very proven.

I am looking at a Holley Dominator but installing it in tank.

Talked to John at DBRods this morning, think im gonna run one of his fuel cells made for our gmt800 chassis trucks, here are a few pics, 620.00 shipped! Not bad at all, this will also allow me to keep my factory fuel level sending unit and almost a 20 gallon fuel capacity! Now which pump lol? Im thinking the maganfuel 4303..... I want enough pump that i can switch over to E85 when the time comes...

Only thing that seems more appealing about the 4303 vs. the Big Aero pumps is that its street friendly with out a controller?

Make sure you plan for a -12 feed if you run the 4303. Badass pump by the way.

Its misleading. Trust me, if you use that pump, use the Magnafuel fittings with a -12 feed and -10 feed. Anything less and your selling yourself short.

Another example: If you look at a Walbro pump it prob has a 1/4 inlet and outlet. Your not going to run a 1/4 feed line are you?

I've been told by just about everyone to feed the pump with a -12 and a -10 feed line, ordered that DBrods fuel cell and im gonna go with the 4303. The cell has two -10 outlets so i think i'll run those in to a -10 in / -12 out y block!
