Fuel setup for H/C/Juice?

I am about to put AFR heads on my 02 corvette which already has a cam and nitrous. What is the best route to go as far as fuel system. Before you respond I want to say I dont use my nitrous all that much and I only spray 100-125 shot. I should be around 550-600RWHP with the nitrous. Does a Walbro 255 in tank pump, MSD BAP, and the racetronix harness sound like a good setup? And also, can the boost a pump be wired to come on only when I activate the nitrous ? Thanks guys

I use just a walbro intank 255. I run a 150 wet shot and make a bit over 450 HP naturally aspirated. Have never had an issue with fuel delivery.

Racetronix makes a nice setup that is pretty much plug and play and comes with a nice wiring harness for it. It is by far the most popular system for our cars. It is a walbro pump setup.

I have heard alot of bad things about that setup. I want to stay away from it if possible.

Here is the set-up I'm planning on using:

new stock pump in tank
Walbro in-line pump
Scorpion billet fuel rails
Lucas 36# injectors
Fuel Pressure Regulator w/ 1:1

I'll be running some new -6an line where ever needed & using my stock EVAP for a return line. This is probably a little overkill for my set-up, but I want it done good enough I don't have to upgrade again later. I'll be running the FPR b/c our stock system see a dip in pressure at WOT. This should help elminate this.

My system will be almost exactly like ChevyChad on here except he has a dual in-tank set-up. I believe he put a write up on here of his build which included fuel system info.

Here is a link from our local board incase he didn't post it up here.
