Walbro, 550's enough for 10-11 psi?

Is just a Walbro and the stock 550's enough to support 10-11 psi and 250 FWhp? (With a, S-AFC and FMIC)
Does the Walbro 255 raise fuel rail pressure enough to effectively increase the rated CC flow of the injectors?
Thanks
Dumb question, I know... I'm an N/A guy!

Id imagine you would bump into the 60-65% DC limit in the stock ecu.

I know they're good for 10psi on a stock IC and exhaust. I pulled 195HP on a Mustang Dyno.

We did hit 12psi briefly and the afr didn't go past 12/1. At 10 afrs were in the low 11s.

You said something about being an NA guy. This isn't a boosted NA engine is it?

Oh, then scratch what I said. The 9.7:1 CR changes everything I would think.

The new engine is getting lower comp 9.5:1 rotors... it's something.

By meaning I'm an N/A guy, I mean that I know pretty much everything about N/A setups, but I don't know much about the specs and limitations of turbo cars... I'm learning!

Ya, A little richer mixture will be riequired to further prevent detonation than a regular comp. motor...

that would be fine, I ran a 13.8 on my stock injectors with a walbo, and with my 720's the best I ran was a 14.1!!!
