Default fuel pump for boost

I know this is a topic that's been addressed before but still there are some do's and dont's that aren't always address. I would like to do it on a budget. What I have is a stock block ls1 Stg2 heads and cam 42# injectors on it now. Adding a procharger p1sc-1 with the duel intercooler 3.5" have 92mm intake tb and maf setup on it now. Wondering what kind of fuel pump setup I can/should do on it I have one of those boost switches I was going to put on to turn on another pump @ 2psi or something not sure if that's a good road to go down if so any recommended pumps to use then? and any suggestions for changing fuel lines or stock ones good enough? car it's going on is a 01 trans am i don't know if i'd ever run e85 either

how much boost/ how much power do you think its going to make? Probably going to need bigger injectors, and a single Walbro 450 would more than likely support that

figured i would need 60# injectors probably wasn't sure if i could get by with the 42# on a stock sized ls1. goal is probably close to that 15lb range and hp as much as it can handle lol

Might as well get 80's as they cost about the same, and leave room to grow. Im on a single 450 making about 600 through the auto

Go twin 255s on a hobbs switch turning the secondary on under boost with a squash hot wire kit. Also go 80ln injectors since same as 60s.T That on stock lines is good for 700rwhp. More once upgrade lines down the road

So does this go in-line after the intank pump i'm assuming? You have it setup where 1 runs constant once key is on and the other kicks in after 2 psi load?

stock ls1 motor with cam for hp or is there a bit more to it? My goals were around 650 with a 6 speed anything more is just more fun. Later on perhaps over the 1k range with a lsx motor. I think the p1sc-1 can pull that off but it's pretty hard i've heard.

those pumps go inside the tank then?

I'm trying to go with something that's good and cheap to be honest I'm on a budget and i'm sure the small things will add up quickly. A friend had pointed me to going with a A1000 inline pump but am i better off with something else?

Doing the Math, a single 450 with a hotwire kit to get 13.5v to it flows almost as much as 2 255s, more than 80# injectors can do. And will support more than 650whp on a manual car for sure

These are what I have in mine. Not the best, but they work fine.
