Default Fuel System Help

Not sure if I should be posting this in the Fueling section, but I figured this is nitrous related.
Regardless, the car's a 2001 forged internal, heads/cam LS1.

I'm going to be spraying the car with Nitro Dave's dual nozzle kit, and planned on starting at 150 while I mess with the suspension.
By the end of the season, I'd like to regularly spray 200 at it, with the ability to jet it at 300 if needed.

Currently, it's got a completely stock 2001 fuel system.
What pump do I need inorder to be able to sustain 200 additional hp?
I have no interest in an under-the-hood fuel cell.

Thanks.

Get a pump. Get one from Dave at same time as kit and maybe a deal could be made?

I've already bought the kit.
I'm wondering if the walbro 255-intank would be enough?
If so, great.
If not, what?

I know a lot of guys run the Walbro, maybe they could comment and advise. Myself, I have the stock vette Walbro and a Bosch inline, hoping it'll be enough for upwards of 600hp in the end.

I'm not too sure I'd like to run an in-tank and an in-line.
I might just do dual in-tank walbro's like i've seen a few guys do.

I'd just go with a Racetronix kit. I think we'll be running a sale soon on them.
