Turbo-fuel system question...please help

I just got my car back from being tuned and it made 468RWHP but went dangerously lean and they had to shut the car down at about 5,000 RPM's. I currently cannot drive the car hard untill I upgrade my fuel system, and they think its the fuel pump I am running. Here is my current set up....

55 lb/hr injectors
Racetronix in tank fuel pump
stock inline

I bought the Bosch 420 inline-fuel pump and will have it installed. Do you think that will be enough to run the car safely at about 520RWHP (that is what they are projecting the car to make) or should I upgrade the Racetronix pump to somthing else.

Also, would methonal injection be helpful to avoid lean conditions?

Thanks in advance

your current set up has a racetronix INTANK? you should have enough pump for about 600rwhp

what is a stock inline?

They said its still leaning out and it is likely the pump....it is the intank racetronix (I am 90% sure, I will check on that for sure)

Please ignore the stock inline comment

i would run it with a fuel pressure gauge.

one 255 in tank alone should be more than enough for your goal. i suspect a crimp in the line somewhere or a possibly regulator related pressure issue.
