looking to change things up on my terminator swapped 97 by going with a ported eaton while i have the blower out.
currently the car has:
eaton 2.8" pulley
return style fuel system: 39lb injectors, 255lph in tank, AFPR
stock lightning MAF

with a stage 5 port from steg, many of the terminators are running high 400s on the stock setup, which is likely near the max for the MAF and fuel. i do not plan on running a lower and shooting for 480-490. question i have is whether iim playing with fire trying to squeeze out every last bit from the fuel system or shalll i upgrade to 60lb'ers now. as far as the fuel pump would the existing pump be enough or will i need to do a revamp of my entire fuel system?
a few options im considering keeping cost, reliability and performance into consideration.

a) increase the fuel pressure
b) add 60lb injectors
c) add a boost a bpump
d) combination of any of the above
thanks
alex
