Default Getting fuel to the turbo LT1

I'm looking into the fueling part of my Turbo 383 LT1 project. I'm going to try and push this as far as it will go. Shooting for 950+ at the wheels. Might not make it but thats ok. This is a drag car only so would I be better off going to a fuel cell? and what pump(s) for this setup. Input on the rest of the system would be nice too(lines, regulators, injectors)

Thanks, Mike

Twin 255's in the tank. They now make 79 lb/hr high impedence injectors that will work on the stock ECM. I'd use these if I did it over.

Do you have any pictures of your fuel cell and how it was installed, where the lines run, ect...

Thanks, I like the idea of the cell because I only run about 4 gallons to begin with and the factory tank and gauge is not accurate enough to run that low and I have ran out of gas a couple times lol. The fuel cell would deff. solve that problem.

Mike - Where can I find a (new) set of these 79 pounders?
Do they have streetable manners/tunability like these 60# Mototrons I'm using now? The Moto's are perfect in my daily driver.
Thanks

If I were to make close to 950 rwhp with the turbo would stage 1 race kit be enought or would I probably need to go stage 2?
