Default New Walbro 255 Fuel Pump without a retune. Good or bad idea?

Ok so heres my dilemma. I have integra gsr boosted at 7 lbs at the moment im going to up it to 10 lbs with a new spring, injectors, map sensor, and fuel pump. The place im taking it to get tuned is about 150 miles away from my home.

So i was thinking that i could install the injectors, map sensor and spring at the place after my long *** drive since those arent hard to change out. I have never changed out a fuel pump before so i dont know if its difficult.

So i was thinking is could i possibly change the fuel pump BEFORE the drive or will that mess up my fuel delivery so it wont run right? I just dont want be outside in a parking lot changing a fuel pump when i can do it at my house.
hopefully u guys get what im asking. THanks

Are you guys serious? Do you have a regulator? Putting in the walbro will bump your fpr up to 50psi from the stock 38 and your dont think thats going to mess anything up?

well i wouldnt jump to any conclusions about how much the pump might raise the fuel pressure. i def dont think its gonna make a 12psi difference. the regular pumps dont make much of a dif, the HP pump might bring up the pressure a few psi. either way, it would be running richer so thats not really gonna hurt you.

i say install the pump, wait for injectors and map at the tuner.
