Default Opinions of fuel setup

I currently have an in tank Walrbo 340 and I am thinking of adding more safety to the fuel system for roughly 650-700RWHP

I am thinking of adding:
Speed Inc Fuel Rails
Speed Inc Fuel Filter
CAS Regulator
255L In Line pump
Stock feed and return lines

Is it okay to run the 340 in tank and 255l in line full time???? I think the in tank and in line would deliver more fuel than 2 in tanks...

What do you guys think?

btw I already have all these parts ready to go in.

Thanks

First off stock feed lines become a restriction at about 650. The inline pump is not going to supply any more fuel than the single intank can pump the only thing it can do is help keep the pressure up (like a patch) not add volume. 2 Walbro's will supply plenty of fuel but is a pain to install in the tank and if one deciedes to burn out (does not happen often but) you will not know til it is too late for the motor. For those kinda power levels I would sugest a full fuel system with a large external pump. Do it right once and you won't need to do it again.

Yeah I am counting on the in-line to keep pressure in the rails. Esp with the spray. Motor will be 408 with max (for a while) 200 wet shot on top...most likely only 100-150 shot for a while bc i am sure thats more than enough for my poor little built 4L60
