When to Upgrade Stock Fuel System??

I'm doing H/C on my TA and plan on making around 450whp. I am upgrading my fuel injectors but is there anything else I need to upgrade at that power level?

If you search, the consensus would tell you upgrade your injectors and possibly your stock fuel pump.

I'm planning to upgrade my intake from ls6 to fast 92/ 92 tb so it would be prudent to upgrade my injectors to 36#s.

I'm also interested in upgrading my fuel pump. Going to have the differential and fuel tank removed anyways in order to sand and POR15 the undercarriage. Figure I might as well replace the pump while I'm at it.

Is the Walbro 255 w/ Hotwire kit necessary?

Or would a Racetronix kit like this be a better, and cheaper option?

Sorry to hijack. Have similar questions as OP does

At the level your at, injectors will be good; anythign over that, I'd go ahead and get a new pump/hotwire kit.
