Default hotwire kit questions

Ok so here is what I'm doing:

2000 rcsb w/return style system
370lq9 w/ lsa supercharger.
8-10lb boost

currently running a walbro 255 with factory wiring.

going to upgrade to the 450
Walbro Fuel Pump F90000267 E85 High Performance 450LPH

do i need the hot wire kit, or just hardwire it on a switch/relay (racecar style)

opinions?

hotwire gives you higher voltage to the pump giving you more fuel pressure. Id say run the howtwire.

and that is what I thought, but I deal so much with aftermarket fuel systems and standalone setups that I wasnt sure if I was just pissing away time and money or missing something important. I was about to just say the hell with it and put a cell with an A1000, never gone wrong with that combo before haha.
