fuel line size and fuel pump is dependent on the amount of HP you are making or trying to make. So that will be my first question how much HP are you trying to make next is there a power adder? I can tell you 6an is not real big. and why would you change all this stuff over if you are not gone to make the HP that requires you to do so?

well first of all, the factory lines, which is what im running now are only 5/16 lines, and i made a mistake, im gonna be running -8an fittings and 7/16 fuel lines. honest mistake. hp wise, my car makes as of now with factory fuel pump, rails, fuel lines, adjustable regulator and 24lb injectors arond 458 hp and 510 ft/lb. so i believe im making a good investment and adjustment. now if someone can help me with the pump i should run with my setup

you arent making that power on 24# injectors, unless you are running an FMU thats bumping your fuel pressure to over 80psi... In which case, you should count your blessings that you havent exploded them yet.
get 42#ers, and a tune before you kill yourself!
Oh and you want an Aeromotive pump.

im thinking about buying an aeromtive, but thenagain, a guy was telling me that the msd pump for efi was a pretty good one too. has anyone on here ever messed with one of those?
and i do have an fmu, i picked it up with a vortech blower about a year ago. didnt install the blower cause my heads are running such a small chamber i didnt wanna blow head gaskets after every turn of the wheels. i could have kept the boost low around 5-6 psi, but id want more i just know it. so everyone told me to keep the fmu and use it cause id end up needing one later. and ive considered going 38 or 42lb injectors, but havent been willing to fork over the money for them yet, but it is coming.
