Default Fuel system upgrade HELP

Hello
Let me start by saying i know its been asked about 1,000 times. I was on the search and google for over an hour and i cant find any good answers so here i am posting again.

When i get back in the states im throwing in a Tork Tech supercharger kit. It will be tuned to about 400hp since im on stock internals. But Im planning on building the engine up and everything. Then i plan on getting new pulleys and tuning it to about 600+ at the wheels

So I need to know what i need to upgrade as far as the fuel system goes to handle 600hp.
I know the SVT focus pump is great till about 450hp or so from what iv read but i cant find a single pump good above that? Would i need a boost a pump on top of that? Or is there something else to keep it pumping after 600hp?

As far as injectors go it looks like 60pound is the way to go to reach 600. 47 look like there working at about 100% past 450 hp is that correct?

Also what else will i need other then a fuel pump and injectors? Will i need new rails or a regulator or anything else for the fuel system?

If someone could make it easy on me and tell me exactly what i would need to keep the fuel flowing at 600hp it would be great thanks.

I say for 650 hp you'll be cutting it too close with cobra pumps. I think you need the same dual pump fuel hat (or fore one like mentioned) but you need to switch out those pumps for dual SVT focus, aviator, or GT supercar pumps with an upgraded FPDM

I wouldn't worry about fuel rails but I really don't think you should go with dual svt pumps. Go with the GT supercar ones
