Default Hobbs switch a must

Installing dual aero 340's. Is a Hobb switch really needed or is it a "if you want" kinda thing.
Also since im asking. Do I need to add a fuel regulator since I took my factory one out?

Yes you will need both. Two pumps at the same time all the time will just overpower the regulator and heat up the fuel.

You will need a regulator for sure. I currently run my walbro 450 and my walbro 255 on all the time, but i have an AFPR.

Ok awesome no big deal, First time building a fuel set up figured id ask. Ill throw a regulator into the mix. With that being said, this is a TBSS intake an rails on a boosted motor, will the stock rails be ok to use or should I just go ahead an buy some billet ones? 10-16PSI at most on this motor.

Stock rails have supported over 1000rwhp, but I dont know if they can keep up with more than a few seconds of pulling.

Ive supported 12psi on stock L59 rails, I have the opinion your stock rails are fine.
