Default walbro 255lph

I was curious on what size fitting you guys recommend to use with the walbro? I am running an ls1 with hopefully twin turbos and around 600-700hp. Also not sure if it matters but it will be an intank setup. Thanks Josh

That pump is not big enough for your power goals. You can use two. AN8 should work fine.

I am new to this so If i were to use two walbro's how do they tie together or is it as simple as it seems? What size an fitting would you recommend for suppy and return if i end up running two of them? I am also going to look into that ford gt pump. It sounds promising also. Thanks alot

Are you going to run an intank pump or external?

I looked at the bosch 044 pump. It looks like it would work great and i would only have to use one pump which would simplify everything. Would you guys still recommend -8 AN fittings with this pump or -6 AN fittings? What about -8AN for supply and -6AN for return or is it better to run the same sizes? Thanks alot for you help.
