Greets!

You need between 3.5-7 psi at the valve seat for
street apps, so any higher requires an in-line
regulator. If the pressure drops too low then it will
lean out under certain conditions. Assuming the stock
pump is working properly and there's no higher than
stock flow restrictions in the system (clean
filters/lines, etc.), it will be fine.

FWIW, I prefer to use an electric pump/regulator.
NAPA's 610-1050 is inexpensive and works well with no
regulator and 610-1049 with one.
