We've relocated several OEM pumps using the Vulcan kit. The ones that were moved a year ago until about 4 months ago has 15 to 15.5 psi at idle.
Most recent ones reads 13.5 to 14.0 psi. (I read on a forum that revisions were made on the OEM pumps which may be the reason for lower pressure).

when you use the holley as a pusher with a stocker, you will end-up with around 25 psi at idle, and 20 at WOT

thanks for what info u gave me,but are yall piggybacking the hot wire on the lift pump to use as a trigger on the pusher pump relay?? If not, how are u wiring, have u had success using a pusher pump to go along with the oem pump? I am having hell with lift pumps and I dont mind spending the money as long as i get results.this truck is my daily driver /work truck so I have to plan any down time as it affects my money making. thanks again for any info..
