Aux. pump setup or OEM bypass???

I just got a BD Aux. pump kit from Bnold (great seller!) on this forum. I have been thinking about it and should I go with the 2-pump setup or use what I got as a "relocation" kit instead? I think my original LP is getting weak b/c my low pressure light keeps coming on when the truck spools up over 2000 rpm and more often when towing. I am going to try and get my hands on a gauge to see what the pressure is before messing with anything.

Is the only difference between the two BD kits an oil pressure sending unit, fuel line, and a 12mm to hose adapter or are the pumps different? The pump that just came with the kit is a Carter pump.

Oh, and the Diablo puck is the only performance mod I have/will be doing.

Thanks for any advice.

I know many have run dual pump setups and have had some success. I never like the idea of having a second pump to fail. Personally, if I had to run more than 1 pump, I would look for anotehr solution.

So, my vote would be relocate a single pump rearward and lower in the system.

A product like the Draw Straw with -8 lines on the suction side would reduce the amount of "suction" required to get fuel to the pump. This also helps take stress off of it.

I ran dual pumps for some time, recently I had some problems and now use a single holley black pump and it has been much better. I dont like to use the carter pumps no matter where they are located. I also found that the factory line to the lift pump is long enough to reach the filter so my pump is tapped inline and it only cost me a pump and a foot of hose to bypass the stock pump and have a decent setup
