Default Fuel system input for boost.

Lq4 swap in a 92 pickup. Gt42 turbo running around 12 psi shooting for maybe 600whp. stock long block w/ cam,springs p/r, etc.

For the swap Im running aeromotive 340 intank pump and planned on running a corvette filter with built in return and regulator with returnless fuel rails. All this feeding 80# injectors.

Is this acceptable or would it be better to run an inline filter up to a boost refrenced fuel pressure regulator an have that return to the tank?

You setup will probably get it done but of course a boost referenced setup would be better.

i wouldnt worry about it. nothing wrong with building an entire fuel system but sometimes its over kill for sure. with a single 255 pump and meth injection i went 109mph in the 1/8th mile on stock rails and non return fuel line with 60 pound injectors. all the calcs say thats around 700rwhp (made 580 on a mustang dyno 12psi) the meth helped a little bit on fueling im sure.... but i have a second pump in the tank but i never needed to turn it on.
