Upgrading the fuel pump won't hurt, but as long as you run a FPSS you will never have to worry about losing fuel pressure, or not having enough and you spraying anyway unaware that your about to blow your motor. Now, are you trying to hide the kit? If so, a plate is not the way to go. You can hide the nozzle, not the plate. If you would want to go real "big baller" style, go for the FAST 90/90 with the direct port built into the manifold. I have a few friends that have blown holes threw their #7 cylinder, that tends to be weak on the ZO6, but their tunes were not the best either. I don't think any plate is better than another. Dave's has a very nice one, and he does very quality work. Really it's up to you though..
