I'm looking to get 300-350hp out of my car. What injectors should I go with? Along with what fuel pump, walbro 190 or 255? I don't need room to grow as there will be no growing, so I only want suggestions for at most a 350hp goal.
 
190 because a 255 will overrun your stock fpr and you'll have to shell out more cash for an afpr and 550's would get you to that goal fine but I would suggest 660's just in case. "Thats assuming your tuning with an afc, because thats all you'll really need for 350."
 
I'm going to be probably tuning with a link, I'm getting a good deal on one. I know I would need a fpr for a 255 pump, but if 190 is all I need thats a good way to save money. What about my fuel lines, are they good as is? Should I go with an after market fuel filter?
 
A good mod is to go from the fuel filter to the fuel rail with a stainless steel line and a bigger fitting into the rail. I belive that machv.com sells one or you can make your own(saw the guide somewere a while back).
I belive that the stock filter is able to handle that much power but i would double check.
the 450cc injectoers can handle 325hp at full duty cycle so 550 would get you were you want to go but a little extra fuel never hurt.
 
Ok heres some money saving tips an palins. First warbro 255 or 190 cost the same so get the 255HP one same price as the 255 but flows alot more. Get an FPR the Aeromotive 1000 is a good price an the AEM is a good one too. AEM I think is abit more tho but you have 3 colors to choose from. Now for injectors I went FCI. Heres the thing since your going to run DSMLink. You should go get 950's if your going to stay small. The 550's - 950's cost about the same. The reason is there the same injectors. You can upgrade your 550's to 950's for 200 bucks. Now if you want to go all out the 1050's are good. They can be upgraded to 1600's. You wont need to rewire the fuel pump if you go with the 255HP. It can handel your needs. As for a fuel rail. You really dont need a new one till you get to the 1000HP range. But AEM makes them in 3 colors for about 159. The can support up to 2000HP.
 
Sure the stock filter will eventually become the bottleneck (ie will support less power then the stock lines & rail) but for your goals, the stock filter will be more then enough. So unless you have free cash or don't mind spending the extra on something that isn't necessary for your goal, I would recommend sticking to the stocker.

Like most said for your goals the 190 will be fine & 550's should support your 350 whp goal but I wouldn't recommend it. I too would opt for 650's as the 550's will be maxed at that level. If you do go with DSMLink, you are not limited by injector size like you are with the SAFC. Injectors are pretty similar in price for different sizes so even if you never plan of making more power, if it was me, I'd still add abit more "cushon", just incase (ie 750's, etc).
 
Ok, the dsmlink I'm getting off of someone else is burned for 950's so I'm going to go with FIC 950cc's. I'm not sold on which pump I'm going to get. I'm running a 16g, and I plan to run about 20psi. Would having a 255 increase performance at all? Or would a 190 be plenty (like switching from a 190 to a 255 won't do anything)? And is changing the fuel line from the filter to the rail to a stainless steel -6AN line performance increaser?
 
Had a buddy tell me a 190 would be more than enough for 20 psi on a 16g. Not the smartest buddy so I wanted to check.
