Default Do I need a Fuel Pressure Regulator???

I've got a 4.8L motor in my truck. I've put a LS1 intake manifold on it. I have the returnless style fuel rail and 28.8 injectors. I have a comp 220/222 cam and SLP valve springs. I will be sending the computer out for a tune whenever the truck gets back together. The truck originally had a return style rail on it. I need to know if i should get a fuel pressure regulator. If so what type should i get? Are they universal or specific and what PSI should they be set at? I've got a RCI 20 gallon fuel cell in the back of my truck and a MSD external fuel pump. I've searched to forums but cant find any answers. please help!!!

You need to maintain 58psi. And yes you need some sort of reg. Give me a call you have a couple options.
