depends on what you call high hp. also you might as well get rid of the stock fuel lines if you want high hp and run something like -6 hose. aeromotive also makes some nice pumps. had a buddy run a single a1000 pump on his ls2 single turbo gto at 20psi
 
Depends on what kind of fuel pressure is required for your setup or goal.
You can have two 200 pumps or just one 400 it creates the same fuel output. For example.

pressure? its all about the volume of fuel needed this is why fuel pumps are rated by l/h or horsepower. plus its always better to run one pump if you can. also remember the harder the pump has to work the faster it will die out. this is why you always hear people say its better to have a fuel system bigger than what is needed

-6 is good for return not for feed -8 is what u want for feed if u are going to make good hp
 
Right my I'll have about 450 hp. My buddy has a 26 on 15lbs and he's making about 450 so I'm sure that's around where I'll be. I don't have a pump right now so I thought it'd be good to just get a good fuel system now. But my budget is killin me right now. Yes I wanted to run all braided lines but at 4 bucks a foot that's gonna be pricey and aeromotive pumps ar like 400 plus form what I've seen. Filter 100 and fittings then if I went that far I should get the pressure regulator 150 and a new rail (anywhere from 80 to 400) and then mid as well get 1000cc injector since all that's takin apart. Yep I just keep goin back and forth with what I want to do but goal one is to get her running so I think I'm gonna go with a q45 pump for now with stock lines. I've been told that will support what I have for now
 
-6 line is fine for 450hp. Oh and you can get a 20' roll of aluminum -6 line to run from the tank to the engine bay. It's like $20.
 
Thanks everybody. I got a fuel cell already sittin in the shop but I think it's only 2 gallons but I'll figure out something
I got some good imput now
