In my experience, it's a good idea to go ahead and do it. The stock pump is knocking the door on an average of 15 years old, so you can imagine it's getting tired out. The stock one, if in good shape, can still flow enough for the stock setup, but that's questionable as to how reliable it will be.

Long story short, get a better fuel pump. I recommend Walbro.

Agreed. A new fuel pump isn't 100% necessary, but it's a good idea. The last thing you want is a fuel pump dying on you in the middle of driving somewhere. Plus, once you start upgrading, the stock one won't be able to keep up. The walbro's can be had for a good price too. Check the advertiser specials...there's a couple deals on em.
