The stock fuel system can handle 450rwhp. If your just going full boltons and a cam you'll be fine.

What I will say, is depending on the year of the car, i.e. the injector size and duty cycle.

If dyno tuned 2002 car shows a higher DC then the tuner likes, tossing a set of larger injectors and tuning for that doesnt hurt and may show a slight increase in power.

Also if the car sees a set of heads. Its just good to have them in there anyways.

I have a bolt on/cam car, the DC in the 80's and its fine but this year had the best injectors so I can only imagine where other cars lie.
