Default Boost a pump needed?

Hey guys running a vortec v2 supercharger with a 3.8 pulley. I have a walbro 225 fuel pump, adjustable fpr, and a race tronix fuel pump harness. Stock ls1 with a typhoon intake. 60 Lbs injectors and billet fuel rails. With this set up is a boost a pump needed or will I be ok at 5 to 6 lbs of boost. looking for 450 to 500 rwhp

Wouldn't hurt to get one and install it, room to grow because you won't be happy at 500 rwhp hp, nope!

The fun will last all but a month and you'll be hunting for more and proper fueling cannot be overstated enough so do it now.

Thanks,Matt
