Might as well make the car a return style set-up and never have to worry about it again.

I'd think that you will need bigger rails with the twin pumps, but I'm no expert

I believe the regulator is on the rails for a vette vs ours being at the back by the tank

return style system with a regulator up front is your main thing. Our fuel rails can support 600 i know.
