Default Do i need fuel pump and injectors?

Im not sure if i will need to upgrade these with my set up or not. Set up is going to be stock short block, cammed and bolt on's around 420 rwhp.

I plan on running a 200 wet shot progressive. I was going to just get a stand alone and run 116 when i spray through the stand alone set up. But im not sure if i need to upgrade the stock fuel pump and injectors as well or not???

If i do end up having to upgrade the injectors and fuel pump can i just skip the stand alone and run the 200 shot on 93 octane or is that not a good idea?

you don't NEED injectors but it wouldn't hurt to get them, but you definitely need to get the pump.

I put down 415 rwhp on a cam and bolt ons and nearly maxed out the injectors. Every car is different though and i have seen cars run in the 430-440's range on stock injectors. your stock fuel pump might be ok as well but i would get an FPSS just incase. for 50 bucks its nice insurance in case your pump cant keep up.

You could do a pump and not have to run the standalone but you lose the added octane in the standalone system.
