Default Do i need a 255 lph pump?

I have an 02 with headers, ory, ftra, p&p tb, cutout, lid, smooth bellow, and a tune. When we were on the road tunning it the computer said we kept overloading the injectors at 99%. Today switched out the original fuel filter on the car (75596 miles) and i could hardly blow through it. Since then I have not checked the car on the laptop to see if that was the problem. I dont know if this would overload the injectors. Could somebody help me shed light on when i need to add a pump? Also I made 351rwhp without the cutout, ftra, and tune, hope this helps. Thanks

At your power level, you should have a long ways to go before you need to upgrade that pump.

The restricted filter would cause the computer to tell the injectors to work harder because the PCM would be seeing a lean signal and it is trying to compensate.

yeah, we plugged it up and it said it was running fine! made 360 rwhp and 374 rwtq with headers and a safe tune. Just curious when should I update my pump?

I would get a fuel pressure gauge (good idea to have one anyways) and watch you fuel when you get on it just to make sure you stay good. I would think you do not need anything right now though as far as a new pump.
