Default fuel tank, pump with procharger

i am building a 72 camaro with an 04 gto ls1 with a procharger unit on it. i know the stock pump and tank has no return line and is internally regulated. the stock pump runs at 55-64 psi and i've been doing some research that the stock pump can't keep up with any boost.
i was looking to getting this tank
http://www.tanks-to-pans.com/site/82...uct/FN-GM42BFI
which says it runs to 85-115 psi. would this be suitable for my car and motor application? my last question is since on the stock tank using no return line and it being regulated in tank, would i have to use the corvette fuel filter to solve that problem?

you will need a boost referenced regulator. you will need to get rid of the other regulator.

a boost ref regulator is what you use with a supercharger or turbo. its an adjustable regulator that uses a vacuum reference for a signal. it raises fuel pressure with boost. i put mine on just after the fuel rails.

okay not to sound like an idiot but i'm only 17 haha. what would a good brand of these be or a good one to get? i'm guessing it responds to vacuum generated by rising boost pressures?

the boost referenced regulator gives you a constant 58psi for normal driving, but ramps up fuel pressure as boost rises.

you set your base pressure and when the motor sees boost then the regulator will allow pressure to rise with it.

Have you actually set the motor in the car yet? I have a procharged 6.0 in my 72 nova SS. The Gto kit sits the blower to far down in the frame and the head unit hits the upper control arm. I will attach some pics. You will need the LSX transplant bracket set up. Get with Bob at EPP he can get you a deal on the bracket. Just a couple of things to note. If you already have the blower the oiling system clocking in the blower is different on the GTO and the transplant bracket set up. You will have to send it in and get it internally reclocked. It will cost you about 300$. Here are the pics of the problem and my solution.




Good luck with your build pm me if you have any questions.
