Newbe Q-jet/fuelsystem questions

We are in the process of putting together a SA (stock appearing) Buick 455 stage1 that has about 550hp. We are going to use a BG400 pump and BG reg, 1/2 pick up with return, #10 from pump to reg, #8 out both sides of the reg to a Y and #8 to the gutted stock pump where it will feed the carb from a 3/8 id steel line and we will crank the pressure up on the pump its self and run 6psi at the carb. What do you guys think? I know the Q-jet has a small fuel bowl so I know they seem to be tought to keep full, the buick Q-jet has the long fuel filter housing coming straight out the front so I will unlarge the inside as big as possible but was wondering if you guys could offer any tips or info on the fuel system/crab build? Thanks........Chris
