Default Radix intank pump and fuel system ??

Im going with 60lb mototrons and I have an inline pump from the Vortech, although Im not sure what it flows. Ive got the return style fuel system. Would the Radix intank pump be a good idea? Is it still a direct fit for us with return style systems?
Setup is 6.0, 220/218 563/565 cam, STS GT67(may go with a GT70), meth, Stage 1 heads etc.

I believe the radix pump is an inline pump just like you have. A stock pump with an inline booster should flow plenty on fuel for 60's.

Your new setup is gonna be a 6.0 with the sts? Have you researched tuning those 60's yet? The way I understand it, the stock intank and inline(255) is just fine for the 60's on a 6.0/FI. It's when you run out of injector that it's an issue cuz it looks like your out fuel. And you surely aren't going to be running out of fuel anytime soon with 60's on that setup...unless you go blasting down a mile or two stretch with only an 1/8 tank of gas...

one inline 255 does not have enough volume to keep up with 60's

i don't think anyone makes a direct replacement yet. if you do a search on here there is nice write up on how to do it. i did mine myself and it wasn't that hard. futral is doing the dual intank for me.
i recommend doing the intank.

This is what I heard. From what I understand, it is the Walbro that is modified to fit the trucks. Its a 255 isnt it? Is it fine to use with the return fuel system?
