Default Should I do it?

My WS6 has heads, cam, intake and I want to one day put a nitrous kit in it but honestly I'll probably never have the ***** to actually spray it because I'd hate to see my investment go boom. Right now my rearend is out and I'm waiting on my 9" Ford to arrive. While its out would it be worth pulling my tank on out and upgrading the fuel pump. Its got 42lb injectors and other than that the fuel system is completely stock. If so what kind of pump should I go to or maybe just throw on a hotwire kit. I figure the tank will be alot easier to drop with the rear out. Thanks

A racetronix 255 or walbro is fine for that setup

I would the pump is getting pretty old. Id do a racetronix setup with a hotwire kit. Ive heard to many stories of walbros failing lately, never heard of a racetronix failing.

The tank should just unbolt and fall right out since the rearend is out shouldn't it?

Yes the tank is very simple to drop, especially with the rear out of the car. I also recommend upgrading your factory fuel system with the Racetronix fuel pump and hot wire kit.
