Depends. A widband would tell you real quick. If its a wet system and you have your jets dialed in and you are still going lean, i would say you are behind on the pump. if you are on a dry system, and your injector duty cycles are relatively low, and your run lean, also pump. either way you need to be on a dyno with a wideband and a laptop.

So I am guessing the odds would be pretty low with a cam and 100-125 shot on stock pump.

I would upgrade to a racetronixs hotwire kit. Better to be safe than sorry! Like mentioned before fuel pressure gauge.
