You really don't need a larger fuel pump or injectors to run dry as dry shots are very low "boost" per say. You should, however, run a larger fuel pump with wet and depending on the shot load you may need injectors too. As stated just much more work needed with wet over dry.

I'm curious, what horsepower level do you think stock injectors run out? Or how far do you plan on bumping fuel pressure with say a 75 dry shot with stock injectors?

Well according to your standard fuel load calculator at 250 bhp (which would probably be what a 75 shot would yield) your stock fuel injectors "should" hold assuming you have 21 or 24lb I know the V6s had several different injector sizes. IDK what size the stock fuel pump is but generally a 110lb hr fuel pump will take that kind of power.

Which is why my first post emphasizes a window switch! Lol
