good idea for fuel setup?

does this sound like a good procedure for making some fuel lines??
ill probably make some and acompany them with some 550 cc injectors and a 255 lph pump, and re-wire the pump, does this sound like a good fuel setup for a big 16g that will be at 15 psi, and then 20-25 psi when I get some hard IC pipes and maybe a FMIC or a better SMIC,
what do you guys think?

Not needed. Stock lines are good for about 550whp. I ran 10's on stock fuel system(minus pump and injectors obviously). Unless you want to spend the money just to have some cool looking fuel lines, you would be better off spending it elsewhere.

Yeah, definately don't bother. Spend the money on something useful.

Forget the bigger SMIC if you want to run 20-25 psi. Even the Supra SMIC still gets heat soaked pretty well at that boost level. I would just spend a little more and get a decent sized ebay core(find a good one though) and the appropriate pipes.

Get a 190 fuel pump instead, you'll just run into extra problems with a 255 and its no where near needed for a big 16g.

Speedfreak/Momin made 556whp with stock lines, stock filter, and stock fpr. TurboSpoolinInside/BuyMySC300/Cher made 617whp with stock lines, stock filter, and stock fpr. So, different lines are definately not needed with a 16G. And get a decent FMIC instead of big sidemount. The area that the sidemounts go on the car is not good for airflow with the tire spinning behind it and most big SMICs are really thick, which helps them flow more, but they don't have a big enough frontal area to discharge enough heat, so they heat soak very quickly.
