Default Time for fuel system on 850hp E85...Ideas?

So the time has come to start buying the fuel system parts. I need opinions on what to get. Background on set up first:
Forged 5.7
317 heads 3-angle race valve job
Tick Performance custom cam
BTR 660 springs, titanium, hardened pushrods, ect
LS7 roller lifters
LS9 Head Gaskets
ARP head studs & Rod bolts
LS6 intake manifold
twin 61mm turbos
TiAL Q 50mm bov
2- TiAL 44mm wastegates
FMIC
Using E85
16-18lbs of boost

Soooo.... what kind, type, from where... do I need? In tank pump? Twin in tank pump? In tank pump with line pump? Ideas? Also, going with 160lb injectors but what kind? Type? Bosche? Racetronics? Both of those are so ungodly expensive tho. Any other options that aren't "cheap"?
Thank you guys.

I'm building a similar setup and am using twin in-tank walbro 450s, -8 feed -6 return and FIC 160lb injectors. Should support over 1000rwhp on e85.

^ Those Walbro 450 are only $175-ish each. I was assuming they were way more expensive for some reason.

Dual 450s will do fine, do -8an on supply and return just to be safe. 160s are the way to go. you're all set
