Default Fuel Pump Question - Type R

I have a STOCK DX fuel pump on my 97 jdm b18c(r) in my coupe. My setup is going to be (in 1dy)

J's Style Racing Intake
98 JDM Type R Header
Carsound Cat
Skunk2 Cam Gears
Apexi VAFC
B&M FPR

I'am going to tune the car and my question is should I get a Walbro255 fuel pump? or is my DX one doing its job?

stock is fine. the 255 wont work properly with a b&m, plus, its overkill. replace the stock one at 220+ whp.

you're about 40 whp shy of possibly considering buying a pump.

I believe SOHC cam vtec sand non vtec b series use a 79lph pump stock, while B seties vtecs use 135lph pumps stock, you have spent the money on a type r swap, might as well get the correct fuel pump for your motor. just get a stock pump for a gsr for your year car, it should bolt right in. cheap insurance
