How much power are you planning on? I use the corvette fuel filter/ regulator in my 1991 mustang with a stock 1999 LS1 with a walbro 255 pump spraying a 150 shot of nitrous with no problems. My car is making about 540 horse power. It's running high 6's in the 1/8 mile @98 MPH

The filt/reg will support that HP better, if the filt/reg is placed closer to the front of the car (as opposed to near the gas tank).
