Fuel system, whats REALLY needed?
Right, i am a tad lost with this, my cars soon to be running 520 bhp, and i keep reading mixed things after hours of searching.
Some say a single 044 is fine, others seem to say 2 x 044's, then there's lift pumps into swirl pot into twin 044's......
What do i genuinely need, car isn't going to be doing any track work to be honest.......

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
If it's just for the road with no track use then single 044 will suffice, and -6 line to a single fuel rail. A new OE fuel filter is a wise choice as well. If doing some RWYB's then make sure there is plenty of fuel in the tank too.
Something people forget is to make sure there is a constant voltage of between 13.5v - 14.5v to the pump under all loads, the less volts to the pump the less fuel is pumped out which is not a good thing at that level of power, so if you haven't replaced the wiring to the fuel pump then do that too.
