Cant really overpump a injected 302, go with the biggest pump (255 hi pressure) and be done with it. When the boost level goes up so will the hp, the fuel line size, rail size , and pump size should correspond.

Yeah....190 will work, but it'll be working hard. And the 24's will practically be on max duty cycle all the time. With those mods, I'd go with a Warlbo 255 and 30lb/hr injectors if I were you.

Im gonna have to reccomend a 255lph fuel pump. You can run the 24lb injectors. Youll need an 8:1 FMU and the HP version of the 255lph pump to do this. The part number for that is GSS-340.
