What do you mean? Injectors, rails, fuel lines, fuel pump?

There are a couple of stock PCMs that make a 1000 rwhp. Personally anything over 850ish, I would switch over to an aftermarket setup like BS3 or DFI.

Around the 800 to 850 range, tuning the car just becomes a lot easier using an aftermarket setup than the stock PCM.

When my car was running, we could not get injectors bigger then 96's to work right with a injector driveer box and the stock pcm. I made 920 rwhp on a stock pcm through a th400 on slicks. There are many benefits for a standalone at that power level and even more the higher you go.

it just takes more know how at that level. 160's on a stock PCM and idled in closed loop when my crap was running years ago.

there is something to be said for instant changes on an aftermarket system, but now that's even possible on the stock stuff and a roadrunner.
