Filter should go after the pump, unless it is a prefilter which then can go before the pump, you dont want a filter restricting the pump as it causes it to work harder, over heat and premature failure.

The other option is to run a large enough filter. You don't want your filter starving your engine either. Filtering before the pump if possible is a sure way to keep your high dollar aftermarket pump in tip top shape. I run a #10(1/2") fitting out of my tank into a high volume, #10 on both ends, filter y'd into two hungry pumps with #8(7/16") fittings and line y'd back to a #8 fitting and line up to my fuel rails. This feeds a supercharged 427 with #60 injectors. Goodluck.
