Default Stock injectors and fuel pump maxed out with on LT on my 5.3

I just talked to the tuner and he said I would need bigger injectors and bigger fuel pump and I only did Texas speed long tubes and a slp cold air, he said it makes amazing power till it gets to about 3500 rpms, he said its making 250hp and 285trq to the rear wheel, I was blown away when he said it needs more fuel, he was surprised with the power it's making, but I was just amazed that I need injectors and a pump, I never seen anywhere that anyone needed that, he said he has ls2 injectors that are brand new, and he also has a fuel pump, he said that would fix that problem, also my truck is a 2000 5.3, I just wanted to kno if anyone has had this problem when doing long tubes?

Check your fuel filter first. Could be dirty

If its a 99 with 19lb injectors I could see it. Definitely check fuel pressure though, as that can affect it. I tuned a 99 with longtubes only and it was at 105% at 5900. Never checked fuel pressure though.

Might be the fuel pump gong out or a clog in the filter. How many miles on the truck!

Kenne Bell boost a pump could be a much easier solution to your FP. I'm rocking the stock flex fuel pump on a BAP with 75# injectors.

What size are the stock 01 injectors? I have a 6.0 with 217/223 pacesetter LT's airaid intake system. Last attempted dyno tune injectors where sitting at 118% duty cycles. I already have some nnbs flex fuel injectors, which I think are 36lb, to go in.
