i,v always run twin pumps and 2 -6 lines for that power, i know some say you can get away with one but better safe than sorry always use new pumps as well

my 3 door has twin 044 pumps, but i,m sure you can run one 044 and -8 line for 500 bhp, never done any scientific tests but i,v also never had an engine melt due to fuel starvation
