Default Hiflo FUEL Pump... worth it?

All I have for the engine so far is a short ram intake, high flow cat, catback exhaust, and i got a BBK High Volume Fuel Pump as a gift ($150 bucks) ...

Is this going to give me any more power/torque?

Is it going to lower my fuel economy (significantly) and not really offer me much benefit?

I'm fine with not installing it, so if it's not worth sacrificing a good fuel economy for, then I'll just sell it or something.

Thank you very much to anyone that can help.

A fuel pump won't do anything for you. It just allows more fuel to go through a setup that needs it with large injectors and fuel needs. Yours doesn't need any extra fuel at this point, so you don't need it.

Thanks. I guess I'll just leave it as is.

Yeah, I would sell it off unless you plan on a decent forced induction setup that requires a larger injector.

I'm too broke to get a turbo kit, so i may as well get rid of it. Thanks for the advice everyone.
