You should be fine on pump gas. Since you have them, watch your IDC's and give it a try. If you're seeing more than 110% IDC in EvoScan you should upgrade. Please remember this isn't true IDC which is why you're able to safely run to 110%; anything above 115% seems to be where you start to loose control and the injectors are just full open dumping fuel then most likely going lean in the upper RPM's (happened to me at 119.5%).

Some are running 28#, even 30+# of boost on pump with the Red. I just wouldn't feel comfortable with 780's at those levels of boost. Granted I am not basing my doubts on empirical data. However, do the Math for me as I should have learned that in Adult School, but obviously I didn't..
Here you go:
56lb/min airflow (for a maxed Red)
injectors needed:
14.7 gasoline stoich
.783 lambda (11.5 AFR gasoline, 7.65:1 AFR e85)
56/11.5=4.87lb/min fuel
specific gravity of gasoline (.73-.76, .74 commonly used)
4.87*454=2211g/min fuel
2211/.74=2988cc/min fuel
2988cc/min fuel /4 = 747 cc injectors required at 100% duty cycle
Obviously a richer AFR will require slightly bigger injectors and a leaner AFR will require slightly smaller injectors. Of course it would be best to use bigger injectors than 780cc, but the OP's question was would he be OK without upgrading, since he has 780's already.
