Default Fuel questions for turbo 5.3

Guys, what are you guys getting away with as far as fuel system on your 5.3s? I have the mild 5.3 in my sig.. cam and bolt-ons.. I was looking into KBs kit with a 70mm at around 7 psi. Can i get away with a walbro 255 in the tank and some delphi 44# injectors since i already have them.. and what kind of power can those fuel injectors and pump support?? Would love with the turbo and a few more items to get in the mid 400's rwhp range. Thanks in advance

You are good on fuel and should be in the mid 400 range. I run a 255 intank and 60# injectors on a 5.3 with 10psi. This is on a returnless system.
