What are your eventual goals of the car?

My philosophy when tuning and building cars is to set a goal and work backward.
It is very easy to just start modding without setting goals, and this usually ends up with you wasting money and time with unnecessary things.

I've seen AFC tuning just leaning out the fuel curve produce 5 - 10hp gains across the board.
That's a 5% - 7% increase without changing anything other than slapping on an electronic box.
That's not bad for <$200 worth of electronics...

Your stock fuel pump can support 200hp at the wheels (DynoJet).
There's no reason to bump it up to an larger capacity fuel pump unless you're doing very radicals mods.
Very few normally aspirated 13B's can make 200 unless we're talking radical porting.
