Default Fuel and NA

I am running a 00 jdm b18c and have my stock civic fuel pump. i want more power. i was thinking of getting a walbro 190lph, b&m fpr and gauge to complete the setup. i had a few questions...

...i've heard about problems arising about the B&m fpr not giving enough fuel. but usually this is for really built motors or FI. since i'm going na, i wanted to know if i don't have to DRILL the orifice of the fpr.
...also, i wanted to know what's a good psi to be at to be running strong, but not too hard...maybe 50?
...and are there any horror stories about the B&M that would cause me to give AEM's FPR more attention?

bigger fuel pump = bad gas mileage. unless your motor is heavily modified (i.e. head milled, high compression pistons, full head work, big cams...etc.,), you will not gain much power from replacing the stock fuel pump. it sounds like you have a stock JDM motor...so...i suggest not to get the bigger fuel pump...not worth it.

now if you got NAWSSSS...then that's another issue...

If you plan on upgrading alot of parts. Those fuel components wont hurt to have. The B&M or any adjustable FPR is always good to have to help with tuning if you dont have a afc
