Default What Fuel Components with a Fuel Cell?

What Fuel Components with a Fuel Cell?
I am upgrading the fuel system for drag racing to handle 440ci na capable of more than 650rwhp.
I am building a custom fuel cell and looking for some advice on fuel components.
What components do you recommend using for Pre-Filter, Pump, Filter, Regulator, what size of feed line and return line?

I belive in overkill. I run a prefilter with a -12 out of the tank. If you use Weldon or Aeromotive the filter will screw right in. Then come out of the pump with -10 to another filter. Go to the front with -10 to a Y block with -8 to the rail. -6 out of the rails to a regulator and -6 back to the the tank.

what madman described is similar to my setup but mine is as follows:

-12 out of the sump to the 10 micron filter (filter/pump/filter) into the pump, into a 40 micron filter, out with -8 all the way to the y block, -6 into the rails, -6 out of the rails to the regulator, -6 back to the tank. Thinking about going to a bigger pump and -10 feed line with -8 feeds to the rails.
