Re: Question
Stock tbi fuel pump max is around 14psi, the stock injectors at 14psi should support 200hp.
You can also increase injector size, but will have better results by using the smaller injectors with higher fuel pressure.

Re: Question
I think the only way to know is to test the stock pump on a modded engine by monitoring the FP at WOT/heavy load. I have not done so but others have run a TEMPORARY line to a FP gauge and taped to windshield. Others have had a passanger hold gauge inside car. Not the safest way of monitoring however!
