New motor- porting? and fuel questions?

Well its time... Pushed that old stock motor long enough. Made 430rwhp, so I was satisfied but I want more! I have a few questions or maybe just want to here others thoughts. But before that I guess I should say what I am looking for and how the car is used. I put maybe 2-5k miles a year max. I hit the drag strip a good bit and drive on the streets to and from work very seldom. Maybe once a year do a long drive to a gathering "Deals Gap" or another 7 gathering. I will be running a gt40r kit. Plan to max the turbo , maybe 500hp? -/+ So here goes.

1. Porting, I was set on a race port but now have been reading on some results from a few with a half bridge port and am leaning that way. My engine builder thinks I will be ok with a large race port...

2. Seals, we have disscussed this forever I am thinking 2mm 2 piece OEM?

3. Low comp rotors? Worth it? Cost? Source?

4. Fuel system. Looking to run 2 RP comp pumps (was told by them that these out flow Supra and Cosmo pumps)? But then If I run one to each rail could I not run a stock pump to the primary w 850's? No need to skimp but is 2 upgraded pumps really needed?

5. New housing on the rebuild. Is there a good source on these? This really adds to the rebuild! But I want it done right.

Anything that I may not have covered or you think may be of importance to me please mention. Thanks!

I say stick with a well race ported motor. Half bridge is fine but shouldn't be needed with what your goals are. Seals 2mm is fine. Low comp rotors can be worth it. Cost depends most people who have a set or two aren't so quick to let them go. I can get you new housings as well they are sitting here as we speak.

Sean, PM me prices on housings and low comp rotors if you have them.. I am also still waiting to here back from you on that larger exhaust side. (.96 or 1.06) if available and price and time frame. If this is not available let me know as I might be interested in a 42r.
