If your looking for 450wrhp your actual fuel system has to be good for 630 to be safe. That is how I look at it. I multiplied 450 by 1.4 giving another 10% head room.

one pump will do

filters you want the lowest micron for the best protection, so a 20 micron will keep more dirt out then a 100

i use a in-tank filter on the 044 pump and stoc filter on firewall but i am going to change that one out

Do i run just one filter? shouldnt there be one before and after the pump?

If its in tank use a sock filter, then another filter up front

I also just ordered one of these Fuel Filters : Jay Racing

Alot of cheaper filters dont flow and paper filters will clog. That one flows 900gph
