Fuel pressure dropping to 2 psi

Hey guys I installed the edge juice with attitude today and of course my Fuel pressure is junk 10 psi Idling between 7 and 9 just normal driving any more pedal than grandmaing it and the pressure drops to 5 or 6 and wot is 2 psi, my question is I'm pretty sure that my lift pump is junk, should I replace it with a stocker or something else, This is all the mods I plan on doing so big HP is not my goal.. Your thoughts Thanks..

I would replace it with an aftermarket one, more reliable and better quality IMO.

A big part of the pressure drop is caused by the banjo fittings. Use the Vulcan Re-Lo kit from Geno's to get rid of them when you change the pump. I did, and can't pull the pressure below 12 psi with the Smarty #7 setting and the boost at 28 psi.
