high performance fuel systems?

What are you all running for fuel sytems? I am building a pulling truck and want a good fuel system. Right now i got 1/2" line all the way from the tank to the pump. I got a wix filter housing before and after a holley blue fuel pump, no regulator. Will that work or do i need to do something else? I also took out the lift pump and made a plate to cover the hole. What do you all think i should do, like i said this is a pulling truck soi am going to push a lot of hp. Thanks.

If youre building a high horsepower truck, Id look into a high end FASS, rasp or mitusa mechanical fuel pump (driven from the balancer).
The stock piston pump on the 2nd gens are supposedly good up to 550hp or so.
The stock fuel filter and fittings may be limiting your fuel flow also.

Try

an aeromotive 100 pump, to a pressure regulator in place of the OFV with 1/2 inch lines all around...

that oughta work out well...

if not haisely has a killer auxillary fuel system that can work too.. for a decent price...
