How was the fuel pump deemed failing? By the fuel trim leaning out at stated rpm, or low fuel pressure?
Stock pump should make 600+ to the wheels.

Fuel pump should be fine to 600hp, and the quick way to tell if the pump is going to bad, was there a huge drop in fuel pressure at the rails to begin with?

So on that note, what size injectors,
and what is the fuel pump and injector settings in the tune.
