Default help with fuel setup...

I need to know what all i need for a good fuel system for a 5.3 L truck i'm going to go twin turbo and need something i can grow with and not have to replace anything so i wanna buy everything i'll need even though i know it will be overkill for awhile i'm going with two to4e's but i don't know what trim or ar yet but will push maybe 8-9 pounds of boost to start with intercooler. thanks.

I used a mallory 110FI external pump if that helps. It is kinda noisy but should support lots of boost. I also make it return style from the returnless system it was and its vacuum/boost referenced. I kept the stock pump in there also as a booster pump even though its the original TBI 4.3 pump, it still helps.

I was planning on using the VORTECH Boost proportional FMU for my twin turbo project, and then upgrade injectors if i need to.

what kind of turbos are you planning on using?
