1000ccs are way way way way overkill for anything that has the letter D in it.

Pull back your injector sizing, and yes upgrade your fuel pump, walbro or the like.

im running a 255 in my 00 si i got a precision t4 6076 w/s cover bb turbo stock bottom built head with ctr's and 750 rc injectors on 52 fuel psi on a aem ems. on 7.5-8 psi im only at about 45% duty cycle at full boost. so i have more then enough fuel with this setup.

you would have probably benefited from running a smaller injector at a higher duty cycle from what i've seen. I plan on running 580-640cc injectors with an LS-T pushing 12 lbs.

i had smaller injectors 440's but ran into 85% duty cycle at 11 psi of boost on cooler days, so i ran it for a while like that then turned down the boost too save my motor and bought the 750's so i can put in my built bottom end, turn up the boost and not have to worry. if you can figure out of your whp goal or range you want to be at, picking your fuel setup is not that hard. mine will max at around 450 to 500 at the wheels depending on my fuel psi, and injector duty cycle. i like to stay around 80-85%.

Yes, if you mod you car then you must upgrade fuel system. Duh?
