Default turbo lq9 fuel upgrades

So I've been looking at the next step for my Avy. I am getting turbo parts gathered but I'm confused on fuel supply. My goal is 650hp or 600tq flywheel which ever comes first due to Transbeing my limitation. I'm planning on running 80lb injectors. Here's my confusion, in looking and searching on fuel supply. Some people run 2 Walbro's, some run externals, some say surge tank and lastly people say put a "booster" on the pump no matter what. What the hell is a booster? How do I tell if a fuel pump is stable enough specs wise? I've searched and still have questions so any guidance is welcome

Moved the thread for you.

Check out the sticky in this section for what pump you should use.

You probably dont need 2 pumps for that power goal (but you may). I dont like external pumps personally, and pumps in series is not a good move for our vehicles (doesnt work well). A booster is a device that increases the voltage to the pump, but I dont like these.

Either one is fine. 450 if you plan on the corn.

That's what I was wondering. Everyone says double 255's but why not just run 1 that will do the job. Thanks for the help and good write up btw.

Walbro 450 keeping in mind you will need to do the lines, wiring, and fuel regulator.
