Glad it is all sorted Dave! - Do you remember the discussion about bosch vs Walbro fuel pumps? Well Mark Shead claims he actually prefers the Walbro pump, for ease of fit etc... and also recons it will take about 500bhp no problem! - just some reassurance for you!

Also what bhp do you think you are reaching at 29psi with your setup?

TOUCHING WOOD here but I'm still running original headgasket with the exact same conversion as yours.

29psi peak, 25psi held.

If I would have to change, it would be a proper WRC though.
