Default T56, when is a fluid pump a good idea?

Right now I'm running a Tick level 2 with about 480rwhp. I've been doing a lot of reading about the electric pumps set up to spray fluid in the front part of the transmission. Right now the car cuts 1.61s with no front runners and no suspension adjustments. I plan to at least be in the low 1.5s on 6k plus clutch dumps. Would a pump be a good idea for me?

At your power level it's probably not necessary, but it sure won't hurt to keep the input cool under hard acceleration. I ran a lvl 2 trans with no pump for 4 years at ~700rwhp in a heavy car, 1.59 sixty ft and mid 10s at 135mph. I'm putting a pump on though before throwing any more power at it.
