Default nitrous 5.3 fuel pump

I'm about to swap the 2v mod motor in my 2001 mustang for a 5.3 in the next few weeks. I have a 6.0 that I'm building for the car in the future so I want to buy a fuel pump that can supply both engines.
I want to run one fuel pump for both the engine and nitrous. One line to the engine bay, then a Y to both regulators. The nitrous kit is a Induction Solutions real street kit good to 400hp. I'm sure I wont come close to the 400hp mark.
What size fuel pump do I need? What are you guys running?

I'm running an Aeromotive SS pump I got from a buddy who was running a BBC in the 9.teens when he upgraded.
I've had no issues.

Doug's running a good pump. We sell a good amount of them. A Bit quieter than a Holley Blue and holds up to continuous duty street use.

If you needed it, we are running a site wide sale until tomorrow night,

Use coupon code LS1Tech10Off in checkout for 10%

Two options in the pump, one has 3/8" NPT ports, The other has 8AN ORB Ports

I have been pleased with my Aeromotive S/S pump. 400 shot is a pretty big squirt, at that level I would go bigger than the S/S pumps. The best pumps you can buy are Weldon pumps in my opinion, but they are pretty expensive and none too quiet. Great for a race car.

You can also run a small dedicated cell just for the nitrous, allowing you to run a higher octane when spraying, such as this wonderful Nitrous Outlet kit.

Fuel pump built in, with a regulator plumbed already.

Thanks for the reply's

I think I will go with the s/s pumps or a Magnafuel 275. But, I'm a little torn on what to do with the fuel tank. I'm leaning towards a cell in the trunk and remove the stock tank. I'm looking to cut as much weight as I can so I think a stand alone system is a not what at all. Once I get all the size line figured out I'm going to order everything at one time.

Good way to go. Plan it out and do it once.

Let me know If I can be of any help and good luck with the build.
