Walbro 255 Fuel Pump, When is it needed?

I currently only make 278 whp and I plan on taking my car to ~330 whp. Will I need to upgrade my stock fuel pump? How about injectors and fuel rail?

I found a similar post in the Evo X forums and I know that is a superior stock pump but most stated that stock fuel pump is good to 400 whp.

Quick side-question, I dyno'd 278 whp on a supposedly low-number Dyno with a handful of bolt-ons. Anyone know how the stock numbers might look?

255 should have been your first upgrade.
Stock 03 fuel pump will not come anywhere near 400whp.
Stock whp for a 03 on a low reading dyno is about 205-215whp.

Whenever you plan to go beyond stock boost, replacing the now old, tired stock pump.
