Default Fuel Pump Upgrade

Hey guys I'm looking to upgrade my fuel pump. I have the huron speed v2 kit and I plan to get 750whp out of it in the future so I want to be ready for it. I'm looking at getting the walbro 450, but I'm not sure the stock fuel pressure regulator can handle it. Anyone know if it can? Anyone have any other recommendations on fuel pumps for my power goals. I'm working on a budget so the 450 seems like a good idea. Also would it be better to do 255s? I'm kind of hesitant on because I figure it'll cost more and might more complicated, but haven't looked into it mainly because I was set on just one. Thanks

Iv been gathering info to upgrade to around 800 whp on a f1a and from what iv found is the stock regulator won't handle the pressure you will need a boost referenced fpr. As far as the 450 goes iv seen people make that power on one running e85 and gas but the e85 was pushing it. Also if you stick to the 450 run some big wires it's power hungry as a ****. What's else have you done to the fuel system

if I get a boost refrenced fpr would I need to run a return line setup? Would I need to change the lines for the fpr? What all is actually needed to get the 450 installed? I was planning on running the racetronix hot wire kit to supply the pump more power as thats what I see other doing. All I have done so far is order deka 80lb injectors.

Yes you would need a return line which would open up another list of parts. The 80 lb injectors should be fine.

Checks some of those threads out theres info on running the walbro even twins. Me personally I'm upgrading my entire system and buying a lonnies twin pump. It cost a little more but it will only have to be upgraded this once and im done. And it's all plug and play so no guesswork.

that link helped a lot! Now I am leaning towards 2 walbro 255's since my end goal is only 700 whp. Now to make this setup work I need the 2 pumps, the installation kit, boost referenced fuel pressure regulator and return lines which I will probably use the evap line. What else is required for this install? And can you explain how the return line work? or what I will need. Can't seem to find a thread on a full return line install. Can I run the return line to the stock rails? does the return line go to the rails or does the fpr go to the rails and the return line goes to fpr?
