Default banjo bolts

so my 02 has the dealer upgrade with the lift pump in the tank, would it be a good idea to get the banjo bolt upgrade since i already have the low fp indicator to help prolong the life of my vp44?

The stock banjo fittings can handle way more flow then the in tank pump can produce. I still have the stock banjo's in my truck with my FASS 150, and rarely ever see a 3 psi difference from idle to mashing the throttle.

Different Banjo's isn't the way to do it. A fuel pressure gauge is a much better option.
