Default Fuel vs. F1A

Decided to put this here instead of pipes just because I need a relatively quick answer and it deals more with the limits of my fuel system.

So I'm pretty terrified of how much I'm going to end up having to dump into my fuel system to get my car running safely with an F1A. I've currently been advised that an SVT Focus pump and a BAP will be sufficient to run with 60# injectors.

I'm running 9:1 compression forged pistons, and I'll be running a 3.9" pulley.

Will I be safe until I can afford to drop $1300 on a whole new fuel system? I just want the thing on my car running safely for a while. When I can afford the fuel, I'll expand from there. I'm getting a ton of mixed opinions and I figured I'd ask.

I don;t know enough about centi;'s but you should be fine to 500-550rwhp.

You will run the GT basket dry on long runs though so be careful.

How much power are you making? I'm assuming a pretty good bit if you are using an F1A. I wouldnt run the SVT focus pump and BAP on anything over 450hp.

I was 99% close to buying an F1A blower since I've got a forged bottom end ready to drop in the car. I think I'm going to avoid it considering how dangerous it would be to run a half done fuel system.

Maybe high compression/cams/nitrous.

Nah dude dont do that. Just save up just a little bit longer until you can get the F1A along with a good supporting fuel system and a dyno tune. The car would be sick.
