I was just wondering if upgrading my injectors, maf, fuel pump, and getting a fuel pressure regulator if that would make any significant power increase. Any opinions would be appreciated. my mods are listed below. I'm also trying to get a tb/plenum combo. Just trying to make at least 330 rwhp.

you had your car on a dyno? you could gain more horsepower by adding more fuel.. but you only wanna add more fuel if you're getting too much air in.. it's all in your air/fuel ratio.

with that setup your stock fuel stuff should do just fine.

By upgrading your fuel system, you're really just paving the road for something that requires the use of more fuel down the road, i.e. supercharger, turbo, etc.

Ed Clark is probably the most informed tuner out there. If he tuned your car, he would have let you know if your injectors were anywhere close to maxing their duty cycle, so you aren't likely to gain any power. Now that is not to say having more capacity is a bad thing. Just give you more room to grow.
