Default How much pump necessary for 600rwhp E85?

Ive currently got the inline aeromotive non A1000 on my car. I dont think it will be sufficient for my needs, its rated at 500hp boosted apparently. Sooooooo, Im looking to switch to some intank pumps. This is going in a mustang, so my tank options are a little better than I remember them being for my Trans Am. I am just wondering if 2 Walbros will get me to where I need to be. Ive currently got a stock 5.3 shortblock with a turbo, so It will prob never see any more than 600rwhp. So this is what I wanna fuel it to. Ive got -8 feed line and -6 returns currently and would like to keep them if possible. If im thinking correctly, looks like I wanna run to fulltime Walbros with a y into my -8 feed. And that should be ok for what I want to do

two walbros will suffice. Each pump is good for around 450 on e85. so two should be great.

2 Walbros will be enough for your power goals. For what it's worth, a buddy of mine has a 2800lb car trapping 156mph on two Walbros and e85...

60# will make it but I would rec. a set of 80#ers give you some cushion.
