depends on how much power you are putting out. I would definatly change injectors out. Look into the racetronics set up for the fuel pump.

Typically a heads and cam setup will make low 400s. Depending on how many miles are on the injectors, they might be a little dirty. If you plan on doing a engine build or possibly a dry shot in the near future i would get a little bit larger injector. A fuel pump is allways a good idea when you get into the 400s. Go with a Fullthrottle speed pump and a casper hotwire kit.

Yea, I was gonna upgrade the injectors and the fuel pump when i did the nitrous. Is it an absolute necesitty? I don't care if the fuel pump fails, as long as nothing else is at risk.

That would be a bad idea if it were to fail while you are wot because everything would be at risk. Maybe im wrong but if your fuel pump were to stop while you were wot, that would cause block damage.
