Not sure if Gaz still does his uprated in-tank pump. My thinking would be one bit to go wrong, instead of 2 (plus a bit of weight saving)

good cam choice i would set them up roughly and fine tune on r/road for best gains
tt use the std pump with a inline boost and it works fine , straight forward to plumb in as well, pump is smaller than a coke can
gaz ( spitfire ) is an improvement but i dont know what its max flow is , i know for a nasp honda install its recommended,
fse i have no problems after two years road use, but i would recommend a alloy tank with baffled or valved for track use ( using low fuel ) quite a big weight saving but maybe not the cheapest option pump cheap but tank expensive
i do have the small tt boost pump but i want to hang on to it at least untill my engine is mapped just in case as i have quite big injectors ,i can give you the pt number if you want (just send a pm )
i am reluctant to take my car off the road just yet but it will be soon
tbh the 175/180 with good torque is more than enough for road use imo
however now i have the tt, its being pepped up before fitting
