What you need depends on what tank you run.

If you have to lift the fuel out the top of the tank for track work you will benefit from running a swirl pot to reduce fuel starvation due to surge, but that means more fuel pumps and fittings.

However if running a sumped tank you will only need one pump and the correct filters.

Fuel size for that sort of power will be -6 fittings to the fuel rail and return.
