Default replacing fuel pump, newb ?'s

It seems my fuel pump is about to take a crap on me so I have a few questions about the fuel system.

My main concern is what other items I will need if I'm swapping my stock fuel pump out for a Walboro 255lph 99+ direct fit kit. I assume I need a fuel pressure regulator of some sort? Will I benifit more with bigger injectors or should I wait and do the injectors when I get a LS6 intake mainfold. My mods are in sig, I also have a set of 4.10s going in soon so I will get a tune after the gears go in.

Any input or advice would help!

Thanks!

Thank you, but I'm wondering if there is anything else IN ADDITION to swapping the stocker to a walboro 255 that I need to do. I'm still debating between the two as I have heard a lot of good things about the racetronix and walboro kits.

i believe that you have to alter the bucket for the walboro. the racetronix is infact a walboro pump but it is all plug and play.
