id step up to at least 36# if not 42# injectors to get enough fuel on a SAFE tune to keep the block somewhat safe

+1, 5 pounds might get you 50rwhp mayb more... if u are goin to run a more agreesive 12 with a good tune u could pull off 150-200 hp outta it

ull need to upgrade your fuel pump and injectors... get 255 walbro pump and 42#ers

You have some good support mods but u seem to have stock heads you with 12 pounds of boost i wouldnt expect any more than 400rwhp... if that
