Default 1500fwhp E85 Fuel System ???????

Sup guys, i've done a lot of searching and surfing the net for answers. Hopefully i'll get some good ones here.

Boosted 398ci LS. Max 18-20psi. Heads will start to lift at around 1400fwhp.
Street car. Will see 8 hours of highway use and a full week at a circuit then 8 hours highway home. Also be driven to work etc.

I'm at a loss to my fuel system, i want to over engineer it so i'm not replacing and upgrading if i want to push the limit of my bottom end on E85.

Fuel pumps - in tank, in line or belt drive? Which ones will flow what i want?
Feed and return size? Hard line or braided?
What reg and filter? I have an FPR1200?
Won't be using stock tank either. Looking for around a 20gal fuel cell with intank pump. Kept coming back to the Aeromotive Eliminator setup. If only they offered it with a Pro Series pump.
What size/brand fuel injectors? I have the fuel rails that come with the holley hi ram inlet.

Will be running pump gas to start with. If i can't make the power on pump (98 octane here in Aus) i'll switch to E85. Don't think i want to use water/meth.

Thanks for the help
Jeremy

1500 fly. Not rear wheel. I think belt might be the way to go. But are they streetable? I don't want a pump with a half hour run time and cooked fuel..

belt driven pumps don't heat the fuel like an electric pump

I run a belt drive on the street, I will never go back to electric. No current draw and no hot fuel......best part, no fuel pressure drop

Ok i'm not gunna have much room for a belt drive with AC & PS. I don't think anyway..
The cam drive ones, i'd have to use a cable and remote mount it because of my waterpump?

Would prefer belt. But yeah unsure on room.
