i know this question was asked before... but the guy had cams on his car... im gonna go to tuning tech. in a little over a month, and i was told that i would definitely need a fuel pump for my IX...
my mods are:
- downpipe, hfc, catback, mbc

will my car be fine without it... i mean if i need it that bad its cool, but can i get tuned... and then later on down the road buy a fuel pump?

A fuel pump is $80 why risk it?

I don't know if TT will tune without putting one in (I just had my tune there), but even if they will, I would think you would want to do it since it provides an extra margin of safety and allows for a better tune.

Also, if you were to wait and get the pump later on, a re-tune would be recommended so do it now if you can.

Just a quick thought.

You wouldnt need a retune if you change pumps only injectors. Changing pump just changes the amount of load on it. The IX pump is much closer to 255lph than the VIII is but I would have it done for security purposes only...
