Cheap fuel Pressure upgrades
I've been reading up on posts about fuel pump options but I couldn't find much on what to do if you already have the in-tank lift pump conversion. All I want to do is something to get my fuel pressure up enough to handle the Adrenaline. Currently it idles at 5psi and drops to 0 when accelerating a decent amount. What's a cheap reliable pump I can add and what's the best way to deal with the in-tank setup?

I think from my own experience that a self made Walbro is the golden mean of low cost and good reliability.
FASS are great but expensive. Carters and Holleys are less expensive but often less reliable. In-tank dealer options are not very good at all, and I am yet to convince someone who is looking for a system to make their own perfect in-tank setup. I think the latter could be done very well and for less than anything else.
But most people prefer to buy a kit and go with it, even if for more money. I like to experiment but my own system is lasting, so what am I to do - scrap a perfectly running system and experiment?..

I just sucked it up and went with a FASS hplp. No problems even at -39. The other pumps I've heard, do not like the cold weather. I need mine for work year round...
