Default inline fuel pump suffiecient enough?

I bought an aeromotive inline fuel pump from a guy I met locally. I recently installed my turbo kit and have not yet upgraded the fuel pump would I would like to do. My kit doent make THAT much power and I dont plan on doing any major upgrades any time soon. My question is, will the inline be sufficient for my setup? The guy i bought it from said it stated it was good to 350whp.
Setup-91 civic with d16y8 swap and p28
rhb5 turbo at 10 psi
hf manifold
2.5 inch downpipe and exhaust
dsm smic
2 inch charge piping
dsm 450s
adj fuel pressure regulator (what should I run it at?)

Why inline?
Actually, why change fuel pump at all?
With stock people were making upto 300whp...
Also, inline is needed if using FMU (high fuel pressure).
So, in a word: yes .. it will work, although it is completely unnecessary, since you use AFC with 450's, and not plan on high boost.

You can never be to safe. The aeromotive inline pump is good to have I would also add a surge tank to your set up and I'm not sure of your injector size but that fuel pump and a surge tank will easily take as little or as much horsepower you can throw at it. Good luck with it, if your not sure what a surge tank is do a search check the archived and there is a bunch of info on them. Also I would get a nice fpr, and I would trash the Vafc and get something like hondata, or uberdata which ever is in your budget.

My little 91 DX fuel pump is not sufficient, maybe you guys with newer hondas but not my 14 year old one that is weak to begin with.
