Default Fuel system

I have tried searching, and tried contacting a few sponsors. I'm trying to figure out if my current fuel system will support safely my turbo setup.

Right now I have the walbro 340 intank pump which I guess is the walbro 255?
I also have 60 lb injectors.

Will this be sufficient enough fuel/injector setup? Also, am I supposed to have a external regulator that is boost referenced or does the intank pump suffice? I plan on running 10psi. Let me know what you guys are running or what I should do to upgrade.

The single pump and hot wire kit with a rail mount regulator and 60# injectors did no justice for me car went lean at 4,500 rpm. The fix lethal did was a twin walbro with a seprate fuel line for each then used a y block. Help out alot.

The 60 injectors will take you further then the single walbro. a single walbro should be good to 500-500 whp. Much more then that you will probably want to throw a 2nd one in with a fpr.

Good luck, Chris

Thanks, so my limiting factor right now as far as the fuel system is concerned will be the single pump. The in tank regulator is enough to regulate the pressure to compensate for boost?
