i am in the process of building a 408 stroker that i will be later on putting nitrous too, my question is for now since im jus gonna be on all motor will my walbro 255 fuel pump be enough to support around 500whp (hopefully) with 60lb injectors? or will i need a boost a pump

thanks in advance,
Jon

You may want to check into the effects of a BOP on your pressure regulator.
I have heard of a few people including myself that have had serious pressure and AFR
issues when the BOP is running at WOT..
Now this only happened to me a few weeks ago and I have not been able to research
the real issue yet but the Boost a pump caused something to go way wrong

Any pump with the stock wiring is getting shortchanged. Consider running a bigger line to the pump and see if your IDC's hold up OK on the dyno.

a 255 will work for a 500 RWHP car just fine. but you are going to have to do something when you go to the NOS shot on it.......a BAP atleast! we run the KB BAP and have yet to have a problem with them. 299.95 for one new
