Default Fuel pump/ fuel options

i am about to have a clutch done in my 2003 z06 so i figured this was a good time to address fuel concerns for the future. Car currently makes around 430hp with a cam and supporting mods. I am about to setup my nitrous stuff and pull from the rail with likely a 150 shot. In the future i do plan on going to boost with a 750hp goal in mind.

Opinions and options on what i should get or do?

I also still have NOT purchased injectors because im confused about what is going to work with my fast102 intake manifold (lots of fitment issues with this stupid thing)

first things first you need to figure out if you have an early or late 2003. Mid year ish they went to C6 fuel tanks/fuel system.

Here is the break off point: This would be the VIN after 114930 (last six digits) built after November 25, 2002.

Looks like you have the early style tank set-up so that makes thing easier.. I used the ECS fuel ring setup

with 750 in mind for down the road... external secondary pump probably best option. ECS and A&A both have nice kits.
