I would assume you would definitely need bigger injectors, but the stock pump (assuming it's in good health) should suffice. Monitor your %DC @ WOT.

Well if you've got around 400fwhp, using the popular injector formula of HP x .07, you need injectors sized in the 28# range, so I'd go with either a 30# or a 36# injector, giving you some room in the future for further upgrades.

Monitor your fuel pressure at WOT and make sure it doesn't drop.

I like the Lucas/Delphis, although the Ford SVOs are good too (rated at different pressure though).

Definitely stay away from the Accels.
