Default What all is actually needed (255 in tank)

going with an intank 255 pump
most likely walbro or racetronix

i am building a cam'd ls2 with a ls3 top end pushing less than 500 rwhp/rwtq
now i have read that i will need the following when putting in the pump

(1) - Aftermarket fuel pressure regulator since the stock one in-tank won't be able to keep up.
(2) - Upgraded wiring harness with new bulkhead connector Racetronix posted above.
(3) - Need to run a -6an return line to the return port on the bucket and remove the stock regulator.
(4) - Need to either run a new -8AN feed line or you can use the stock line and find a fitting to cap off the port on the T junction where the lines split apart near the fuel filter and return line.

is this true?

(1) - Aftermarket fuel pressure regulator since the stock one in-tank won't be able to keep up. Nope.. stock is fine.
(2) - Upgraded wiring harness with new bulkhead connector Racetronix posted above.Always a good mod. Not required
(3) - Need to run a -6an return line to the return port on the bucket and remove the stock regulator.Wrong. Leave it alone
(4) - Need to either run a new -8AN feed line or you can use the stock line and find a fitting to cap off the port on the T junction where the lines split apart near the fuel filter and return line. why?? Why?? WHY????

is this true?

Dude... just pull the stock pump and put a walbro in its place. End of project. Who is trying to sell you all those parts??? Sheeeesh

EDIT: I dont mean to sound rude. Just trying to save you money!lol If you wanna get fancy the skys the limit. But everything you have... with the walbro in place of the stock pump.... should work just fine for what your trying to do

Agree with Dragframe
I would also up grade the wire harness at the same time .
