Rambling thoughts - I guess i'm a little confused on the limits of the factory fueling system and/or is it silly to upgrade to Pure without addressing any of the factory fueling limits?

I'm sure i'll change my mind at a later time, but i'm really only interested in comfortably cracking that 600-650whp mark and am running a totally stock fuel system, with the Bend Calibration ultimate F8X setup. It's just a street car for me that might see some 1/2 mile duty at some point.

It's obviously hard to guestimate this sort of stuff without any logs/seeing duty cycles but I'd assume the factory fueling system could support this sort of power on E30/50 and be ok? I'd really really prefer to stay pump/flex fuel without meth due to the ease of it, but I can also be swayed i'm sure. I was already a slow adopter to E-blends so.

Also, with bigger turbos is there any threshold where intakes become more of a needed item? Seems like most get by just find with BMC in the stock airboxes like i'm running.
