Default How far can the fuel pump take me?

If im looking at upgrading the injectors to something better at what point would the pump need to be changed out? Thanks

If your going above 550 I would run a dual pump set up or upgrade your pump to a Walboro. A nice upgrade for injectors 30# Ford red tops.
