You will be fine. If you put a N2O shot on then you might want to consider the fuel system, but until then stock fuel system will work.

You want to be careful with the stock injectors. Anything over 80% duty cycle they say the injector will lose the ability to put out the correct amount of fuel. From my understanding when this happens it doesn't go lean like some poeple think but goes rich.. That can be just as bad as lean.. With ported heads and cam mine was at 97% with the stock injectors. I bought a set of the SVO 30s and now it's about 70 or so.

You will max them out and then some. You'll need SVO 30#ers.

96% at WOT with stk injectors. AFR couldn't match what I was commanding at WOT (going lean). Since put 60# in (Over kill for now). 40% at WOT and AFR is staying in line with what I'm commanding. I'd say 42# would be best choice for H/C only car.

if i upgrade to SVO's 42lbs injectors , should i also upgrade my fuel pump ?

my tuner did telll me that my car is on the edge but i will be ok unless i add any more mods like nitrous ,bigger cam etc.

once i save up a few bucks ,i'll probably get a set of injectors just to be on the safe side. thanks for all the input guys.

if you upgrade inj you should upgrade pump, but the 28.8's will support up to 450 rwhp. if you max them around 400 rwhp you are too rich, alot of poeple dont like to go leaner than 12.8afr but you can usually squeek a few more ponies out closer to 13.3afr. at that arf they will support up to about the 450 mark. if you want to keep it at 13.0 then probably about 430 is the max. but i know they will suport that 224 cam no problem if the pump is strong.
