depends on what your doing....If your doing a heads and cam setup I would recomend you to get a Walbro 255 in tank pump. There is no need to get an inline pump if your doing a little setup!

dont forget that you MUST have your pcm tuned to whatever size injectors you have.... if not it will NOT run right, what-so-ever

I would rather see you get a in-tank pump since most people that get inline pump have some kind of boost on the car. A in-tank fuel pump will do the trick fince , just make sure you get a 255

For the $100 it costs, better safe than sorry. I did the racetronix 255lph pump kit. Super easy after you get the tank out.

Assuming he does his own work, yeah the pump is cheap, not that cheap though. Reagrdless, on a heads/cam car he will still be running the stock fuel pressure with bigger injectors. The piump will have no problem maintaining stock pressure...

I see what your saying about better safe than sorry. He asked if it was necesary though, and the answer is no.
