I'd say the motor could handle it just fine, but my worry would be with the intake.

i know the motor can handle 400ish or so whp. now i agree that maybe i am pushing it cause of the compression ratio i pushing. that whole 10:1 thing sucks. cause i cant boost as much if i went with a blower cause of the high compression. but thats another subject. the only i need to do is upgrade my fuel pump and call it good.

That's just askin' for trouble man. You need new injectors and that pump in ASAP. Hell, I wouldn't even use that 255 pump without a BAP.

hi, if your engine is ok get 150 "WET" shot, colder plugs like motorcraft 22C or NGK TR6 gap them 0.35", check for fuel filters and press and your engine should be fine....
mi cousin ha a 98GT 100% stock with 175 "WET" shot and its ok the only that its not stock are the plugs...
