That's really all you need to change. Your stock bump is merely maintaining the stock FPR's set 43.5psi, no more, no less. Back in the days of adjustable fuel pressure regulators, we'd be running up to 120psi of fuel pressure as boost increases rather than increase injector size, so we always suggested different fuel pumps. For 220-240, you only need injectors. If the stock pump fails, that's a great opportunity to upgrade so future increases in power don't require a new pump.
Welp, i got those. Thanks for your advice. They were a fair amount less than fm's choice of 550cc's for 399$ so that's good. I appreciate the info. Time to learn how to tune. !!

You wouldnt buy a 'holley style' carb to run your oldschool small block project so why buy 'id style' injectors for your efi project?

I really think you just need to put the don't take it personal disclaimer in your sig
