Default bbc fuel system

hey guys, i dunno if this is the right thread but oh well, somone move it if they want. i got a big block chevy makin around 650-750 to the crank commin out soon and i need a fuel system. it will also have a 250 shot of nos (plate kit) so should i do 2 pumps or 1 large with a return. this is all going in a car with no fuel system but i got a 12 gall cell for it. the car will run on 110 leaded and have an 1150 dominator if that has any revelance.

i was going to do 2 bg 280 pumps or 1 bg 400 pump, but im thinking the buildup of press, even with the return will burn out the pump fast. im also kinda lost on what fuel line -8an or 10-an? anyone help me out please, what should i be looking for in stuff to purchase? thanks- mike

i'd reccomend 2 1/2 inch lines and dual pumps.obviously it will be more expensile but should be more reliable.

I'd look for a more reliable pump for the street. Been a few BG failures. Sounds like a nice car....if it were mine I'd do a Magnafuel and look at their kit set-up with line size,filter size, returnline, etc for your car.
