Default Aftermarket or stock?

So i was wondering if i need a aftermarket fuel pump or can i use the stock one with my mods
2007 classic 6.0 228/232 243 heads 232cc advanced induction port job
Tbss intake 8.1 marine injectors
And so on lol i made 402 hp on 2nd gear pull due to stock driveshaft
Will my stock fuel pump be sufficient or should I consider a aftermarket one
Any info is greatly appreciated guys

If you have the flex fuel system you will be fine up to 500 or so.

If you dont plan on boost a walbro 255 would put you at 550ish and a walbro 400 would put you at 700ish.

Yea, I was a little off just shooting from the hip.

42lb@4bar injectors will do roughly 475rwhp at 60psi at 95% IDC.

At 60psi NA,
Walbro 255 will support ~530rwhp
Walbro 400 will support ~800rwhp
Walbro 450 will support ~900rwhp

Check out the stickied thread in the top of the fuel section for a spreadsheet I made that does all this.
