Default Will my fuel system be enough for my setup?

I'm going to be running a Ls1 w/ a 3.905 bore and approxamatley 12 to 1 compression with ported heads and a G5x3 cam. I also will have a DP nitrous setup. I want to run a 200 shot. Maybe 250 if i get greedy .

Heres my fuel setup.
Walbro 255 intank
Inline fuel pump for the juice. Havent decided which one yet. Any recomendation?
28.8 lbs. injectors
The rest is stock

Will this be okay to run w/ my new setup? If not what should i upgrade?
TIA,
Rob

Definately have to up your injectors. The 42's are great and ez to tune and will be PLENTY.

You might get away with stock lines, but if you do that 200-250shot you should do upgraded feed and return lines with an added external pump or another walbro in tank to make duals.

With an in tank and an in line, if one fails, you are not doing too well - NO FUEL.
With a dual in tank, if one fails you will be ok and will not run dry
