Default best direct swap in take fuel pump

Hello guys,
I am going to be buying a 418 ls3 hopefully next spring so I am getting the rest of the car all done before I put the motor in. what is the best route to go I would love a direct replacement in tank fuel pump so i dont have to modify anything. I am hoping to hit 600 to the wheels. What will I have to do and the easiest route to go and still get enough fuel.

Thanks

Im in the same boat as you. The racetronix purple pump and a bap will supposedly support 700rwhp but on my procharged setup Im not sure if it can keep up since fi is sukpposed to be richer than n/a.

Im gonna pull my pump out today i think and make sure the line from the sending unit to the pump isnt leaking, im getting some flow but not enough to build pressure and the seal in the reg is still good, so not sure what they issue is, my gut tells me the pump is bypassing and i have not found a fuel leak and i dont smell gas and when it does fire and studder its not backfiring or popping indicating that its starved of fuel. so my problem is either the pump it self or the small section of plumbing in the tank.

hoping to not need a pump but wont know till i open her up. I looked at the racetronix and others and they seem to be the same as the walbro. My current power numbers are 511rwhp and it still needs the tune dialed in so I may have some more power available once the tune is finalized. Ive read that walbro can handle up to 600 RWHP and other places the number is much lower. so thats why i posted in here to see what the options were

Hose was off the pump in the tank. Repaired it with a new hose and fired right up, actually had to re adjust the reg so it seems I had been having this issue for a while.
