Default New Injectors, needed?

Would larger intectors help on my setup, say SVO 30#? Will it effect MPG, and will I need to retune the car?

Larger injectors would be in order for your setup. Yes you will need tuning...

then run traces and see how the car runs afterward.

What size, and what type of perfromance increase should I expect? What other mods could I use. We have a local even again early December. Stock fuel pump still ok?

30's would be good, not sure how much HP you would pick up... maybe 5 or so. Looks like you are doing great with the mods you have... anything more than that would be lots of money (that is unless you want to spend it) I would purchase a fuel pressure gauge, hook it up to the fuel rail then tape it to your windshield. Take the car out and watch the fuel pressure while driving and at WOT... if the pressure does not change, then you do not need a new pump and you will be fine. :blueangel:
