Default FPR and fuel pump question

Do I need to replace the fuel pump on my 95 LS when I put in my LS VTEC setup? I'm going to use the FPR to tailor the fuel pressure, but don't know if I'll need more volume too. I don't plan to rev over 8K even though I'm using 11:1 pistons, the Skunk2 cams, and larger TB along with the SMSP header and 2.5" exhaust. I'm only looking for 185-195 whp.

I have seen they dyno on a CRVTEC at 175 whp and 153 ft-lbs on the stock Civic/LS fuel pump.

However, after this he upgraded and put down close to 200 whp.

Civic/LS = 79 lph
VTEC fuel = 139 lph.

you might consider since the car will be out of commission anyways...for future mods. you will eventually want more hp...we all do.
oh wait, is your fuel pump under the backseat? if so, then it should be easy enough to upgrade at any time and forget what i said.
