Upgrade Fuel system????

Hey guys, I just want some opions/advice on wheather you guys think my fuel system will be able to keep up with my motor.
The motor is a 355 w/ 9:1 compression, eldelbrock performer rpm heads, HSR intake, twin 58mm TB, 230/236 duration@.050" and .545/.555 lift, 10lbs of boost and 50shot of nitrous. The motor should make about 500hp once tuned on the holley commander 950.
Right now the car has a 255lph intank, stock fuel line, and 24lb injecters. Im moving up to 42lb injecters, but im not sure what to do about the lines or pump. So what do you guys think, Will the stock fuel lines keep up, and will an additional inline pump be enough. Thanks in advance.

Well i already have the commander 950 installed so thats what im using to tune the car. As for the power adder, the car has a vortec supercharger and nitrous, so it should be seeing about 500hp when all is said and done.
I was think of going with 42s because i was told 36s might be on the border line and im going to upgrade the charger later on. Also with the 42s i can always shorten the injecter pluse width the commander, to pull fuel out.

Which pump are you using? Also are you using it by itself or in conjunction with an intake?? And thanks for the reply.
