on a VE Bosh pump, the most you will get is 250, maybe 290
if you are going higher than that you will eed to do 2 things, #1 ceramic coat your piston, the stock piston are only good up to 300 hp (not recomended) #2 buy the 3911400 piston, this is a marine piston and is tested at 400 HP (can go up to 500)
then you will need p7100 fuel pump, pinline front housing and cover.
the stock injectors will reach 290 with no problem but i would go with next size up.
you can use the stock turbo with these upgrades.

if Dan built the pump he should of recommended or sold you a good set of injectors, call him and he will get you a set matched too the pump since he built it......
if the pump has 14mm head and a 4000 spring in it im going to say your going to need a turbo around a 64/71/14, if not a 66/71/14.....

That is the most backwards post I have ever read. I know of TWO local 1st gens that are at 400 or above. Mine being one. I know of plenty others that are 400 or above, a few that are 500 or above, and 2 or 3 that are over 600.

Why did you edit out your original post. Had some good info, put it back up.
Stock non-I/C'ed injectors will flow enough fuel for 400HP if you have everthing else on the truck right, a good turbo (s300), and the truck is tuned damn near perfect. Not saying its easy and dont think it would be worth it but you can do it on stock sticks. You are leaps and bounds ahead to get you a good set of injectors first.

ok.
this is what I'm working on.
6bt storm block (this is a marine block, it is thicker and can handle more heat and strees)
not sure what piston I will be using, might go with 3906631 higher horsepower.
I'm trying to disighn a exhaust manifold to handle more flow of air, this will help with boost pressures inside the head so that it does not blow head gasket or the head when you have twins. i know of a guy who can cut a fire ring inside the head as well to help with not blowing gaskets.
the cylinder head is port and polished, i ground out the valves larger as well, cant use 6bt valve anymore, not sure what i will do with the intake, but I'm thinking of cutting off the intake and welding a cone like intake on( kinda what you enter cooler looks like when entering the cooling chamber.)
the injection pump, I mess with the fuel plate and hone out the plunger, same for the injectors( I,m thinking of tapping my injector holes out to seat a set of 6ct injectors and see what I get with that.
that all I have for now.

Keep us up to date!
The head work is gonna be were you see your biggest improvement, And as far as getting you exhaust manifold made, I would install a Drive pressure gauge and see where you sit. The closer to 1:1 you get the more your HG will like you. Why mess with trying to make 6ct injectors fit? Coaltrain or New Era will hook you up with what ever you want injectors wise and you wont have to worry about you spray pattern being way off and out of the bowl which will happen with 6ct injectors. Get you a good set of 6x16's and call it good. Fire rings are nice for a comp only rig. O-rings and studs will take alot of abuse on a properly set up rig.
What HP you shooting for?
