Question Standard injectors safe for 300 BHP??

On a MY96 WRX?? Been told by JGM that with my Decats..IND kit and FMIC and standard turbo i should see 300 but i'm unsure wether to get some better injectors in there just to be safe?

Also do i have Phase 1 440 injectors now? Is the next step up 550's?

Would it also be a good idea to have a Walbro pump installed too?

Thanks

Fuel pump definitely, if yours is the original it could be getting a little tired.

What colour are your injectors? 380cc's are usually grey and 440's yellow.

If 440's the next step up is usually 550's.

380's can do 300+ BHP, it's not advisable though.
