The higher fuel pressure at idle is the consequence. A 255 isnt much larger than the stock pump, so it wont be too bad. A few psi spike at idle isnt going to hurt anything, the o2 feedback will compensate and keep the A/F in range. With a 350z a 255 can cause a really big spike. A 370z its not as big of a deal, and there is a pressure blow-off on the return side to help.

Understood. Thanks! Very informative, as always! =)
