Default TSP H/C Fuel System Upgrade?

Going to be installing a Heads and Cam package into my 02 Z28 M6 soon. Lot's of searching and based on price and performance goals I am looking at what TSP has to offer. Either 2.5 LS6 or 5.3 heads with something like the Tsunami cam. I was wondering if I need to expect to upgrade the fuel pump, injectors and or fuel rail when installing those heads and cam?

Put a Walbro pump in it and get some 30 or 36 pound injectors

So the stock stuff will not keep up? Do the 30-36 injectors require a new rail? Are these the FORD injectors people are using?

get some bigger injectors i.e. 30lb red top, 42lb green tops, and a walbro pump. I would also change out the fuel filter while your down there. the ford svo injectors will fit on the ls fuel rail no problem.

Injectors? Yes. Hit up FIC, they're a sponser here that'll hook you up for a reasonable price.

Fuel pump? Maybe. You could drop the coin now for an upgrade, or wait until it hits the dyno for tuning to see whether or not the stocker will be adequate.
