Do I need more fuel to make 400whp?

I want a solid 350-400whp for my DD... not 400whp with meth/alchy but on pump gas. I am assuming I am going to need more than stock fuel. What am I going to need to safely do this?

your stock injectors and fuel pump will be ok. you have to get an exhaust, up the boost for sure though along with a bigger turbo.

Yes you will need a fuel pump and larger injectors to do it safely.

Turbo? Your not making 400 whp on pump gas with the stock turbo. Your options are meth or race gas To hit 400whp even on a high reading dyno

with meth you can stick with your stock injectors. you will need a fuel pump.

with pump only, you will need 680cc

300-330whp stock fuel pump will work
330-380whp ( maybe give or take ) 255 walbro fuel pump will be needed
380-400+whp walbro+fuel injectors will be needed, unless ur using alcohol injection which takes off load the stock injectors.

You first said you want 350-400 on pump gas alone, but now you say you are going to be running water injection?

What mods do you have done so far?
If i were you, id get a TBE, a fuel pump, boost controller, and get tuned. That way it will be safe and quick. Then you can always get a meth kit and run it with your stock injectors.

Dont pay too much attention to the whp #'s and the limit of the fuel pump and stock injectors.

Im putting down ~300whp on a mustang dyno with a walbro fuel pump and my stock injectors are maxed out. Go figure.

There is more to alchy than extra power. It is safer... much.

what's going on here, i don't see any mods listed, it's not just some tune that will get u up to 350-400, you gotta have supporting mods and definately a larger fuel injector and fuel pump, also it's gonna be hard to make that w/ stock turbo although it's been done before. i've got 78cc injectors, walbro 255 fuel pump, intake turboback exhaust, bigger fmic along w/ few more power mods and my goal is somewhere btween 350-400whp just letting u know it takes mods to get that power
