Confusing.

You might want to look at the 32# injectors that Racetronix sells, along with their fuel pump upgrade packages.

Re: do i need new injectors?

I would say that 32lbs/hr will be great for you...Here is the link http://www.racetronix.com/621020.html this company is a supporting vendor here, and they have great prices...

ps. If you planning on doing Supercharger/turbo on Dry shoot of N20 you have to go higher than 32lbs...

Re: do i need new injectors?

I honestly don't know what the limit is on the stock pump. Its been discussed.... might want to try a "search".

Re: do i need new injectors?

You will be finer with stock pump...but just check the fuel pressure and make sure it works as it should...Do a search on stock pump, fuel pressure and then check it using some kind of fuel gauge...It the pump is okay, you don’t need another one..
I am running 390RWHP H/C car with 42lbs/hr injectors (for Dry n20 shot), and Im still using stock fuel pump. But as soon as I get nitrous I will upgrade to Walbro 255lph. You can have brand new Walbro for less than $100. Install is very easy and it takes only 1.5 hour with basic tools (trap door in the hatch area). So you can do both injectors and fuel pump at the same time, just to be sure.

If you want you can, its better then stock wiring. But most of the people here just install new pump, and the wiring remains stock..

Very good kit. I got one several years back and love it. Get the wiring harness too. It has detailed instructions on what to plug into. Makes installation easy. Your lucky. I paid $217 for mine a couple of years ago.
