Default Fuel Pressure Regulator to look into?

I'm currently planning out my fuel system on my swap project. I was going to do the Corvette fuel filter/regulator set up for ease of install. But I've gotten bit by the FI bug and in the future was going to look into forced induction of some sorts.

With that said, I'll be running a fuel cell in the car and if I do go forced induction of some sort I'm assuming I'll want to run a fuel pressure regulartor up in the engine base for ease of being able to adjust the fuel pressure for that of the boost I'll be running?!?!? Is that a common practice to raise the fuel pressure when boost goes up or is that because they are trying to get more out of their injectors by raising the fuel pressure?

Either way, if you wanted to plan out your fuel system for forced induction of some sorts in the future what type of regulator should I be looking into? I kno this is a broad question, just getting an idea of what I should be looking into!

Thanks!

Take it you leave the pressure at the stock psi but run bigger injectors to match the power you are making?

How are you getting those 700 ponies if it's okay to ask?

the vetter regulator does 1:1 boost/vacuum so i use stock fuel pressure...58psi. incon twin turbo kit...60# injectors and 93/methanol......made 820rwhp..... without the methanol, i figure it would do 700+ on just 93

Dang man, that's cool! What other mods to have done to the car? Is that on a stock bottom end? I'm up by the Mall of Gerogia, are you far away from there? I ask for I'd love to ride in a LS1 powered car with some boost, only ridden in like ~400 or so RWHP NA LS1's so far.
