dependant on the ecu u have, you might be able to setup a fuel pump speed controller fairly simply. the aeromotive one only has a few settings, and doesnt ramp up with load or rpm. (its also fooken expensive)
if u want to simplify the lines under the car, i'd run a single -10 line from the pump upto the front and split it into 2x -8 lines feeding each end of the rail. -8 from the centre of the rail to the reg and then -8 from the reg back into the surge tank.
also with that big aeromtoive pump, if you read the warranty card/installation instructions, they stipulate u MUST run a pre-pump filter or you void your warranty. i use the aeromotive filters pre pump and also 1 before the fuel rail.
also re lift pump, any of the carby pumps are good, low pressure and hi volume. if u dont mind the cost and want to keep same branded pumps, go the aeromotive one.
