Should I get an AFPR???

My mods are listed below. Take note that I am up high in Colorado at about 5100 feet and there is less air, so should I need one, and if so, what PSI should it be set to?

L98 TPI 350 (5.7L)
TH 700R-4 Transmission
Borg Warner 7.75" 9 Bolt Rear End

Current Mods: LT4 Hot Cam, Comp Cams 1.52:1 Roller Rocker Arms, Edelbrock TES 1 5/8" Headers, Hooker 3" Aerochamber Cat-Back System, Performance Resource Chip, Accel Ignition Coil, Cap, Rotor, 8.8mm Wires, K&N Filters, JET TPI Air Foil, All Free Mods, Falken ZIEX Z-Rated Tires.

Best ET (w/o LT4 cam): 14.32 @ 97.7mph
(corrected for elevation)

I would do it man. Most people that do that AFPR love the mod. Increase your fuel pressure, but make sure u buy gaskets for the stuff you will be removing and buy a fuel pressure guage for your kinda car so you can see what psi your running.

bump it up a little at a time too. Honestly i'd do it at the track so you can see what PSI your car likes and does the best with. Wouldn't be hard at the track either considering the TPI units have the FPR's to the back of the plenum.

89 IROC-Z 350 TPI

-Flowmaster Catback
-Performance Resource Chip
-700R4 (Rebuilt) Too much done to actually list
-K&N Airfilters
-Ported Plenum
-2.77 Gears (not much to brag about but eh, its there)
-MSD 8.5 mm plug wires
-Problems every other day with the car (probably not a mod, but to me it sure makes a difference)
