Default Building a custom stand-alone(Help)

I am building a custom stand-alone for my c6 to look somewhat like this one.I am running a 150 shot now on the stock bottom end off of the rail but im thinking of jumping up to a 200 shot with an hsw 90mm plate and running c16 in the stand alone. Any info or advice is appreciated.

I need some help figuring out what fuel pump and FPR I should use.

Here are the parts i had in mind.
Fuel pump, this one is preset to 13.5 psi.

Or can I use this one which is preset to 6.5 psi.

This is the FPR I plan on running.

Also one last thing, with these pumps being low pressure am I going to have to run the carb sized fuel jet.

So far this is my progress. I will be picking up the pump and regulator next week.

why such a low PSI pump? Why not just go to auto zone and get an external fuel pump for some car? I used to use the mid-90s Ford Ranger pump, and make my own -an fittings to adapt to it. you can regulate up to 55+psi.... Pump is like 70 bucks... (this was for custom race car fuel system, not a standalone n2o system)

From what I've read the low pressure pump makes it easier to tune and make adjustments.

You will need to use the carb jetting if going with a low psi set up.

I would use the first pump with a 13.5 standard psi for more adjustability on the fuel side.
You can use the 6.5 psi pump but make sure you use the correct jetting.

jegs and holly have reg/pump combos
