ok, you are fitting an ally tank then a swirl pot.

where is the swirl pot being fitted?

you need to use a low pressure feed pump from the tank to the swirl pot, ie: a facet redtop, and a good filter.

from the swirlpot you need a high pressure pump.. even a stock gm one would feed enough fuel for 400hp

Yeah i wouldn't use one for much more than that tbh.

If you need a pump i have a brand new 305ltr/hr pump for £70 posted if you interested.

Nonsense.

Get a beefy pump from the swirlpot to the engine, and renew the wires using nice thick new wire, make sure you have at least 12V at the pump from the live.

As for the lift pump, a facet redtop is ideal, the XE/LET Pump is a bit overkill for that.
