I'm somewhat confused with your explanation.
You have a stock LP engine mounted?? and a carter pusher on the frame rail and you have 15-18lbs post filter correct.
You installed a big line kit from the Carter frame mounted pump into the FF and lost pressure by bypassing the stock LP correct. Put everything back together and have ~18lbs again.
Either I'm missing something or you stock LP is still wired up and you disconnected it and lost 14psi and your Carter frame pump is going out to only give 4 psi.

I would say the frame pump is bad. Take the block mounted lp and move it to the frame.
I have the vulcan kit and use the 4601hp (frame mount) bought from napa and I have 15-18 psi at idle.
Other thought is that you actually have a 4600 on the frame, it is a 6-8 psi pump.

Sounds like a 7 psi 4600 pump to me. When I hooked my 4601hp and my stock together, I had like 28 on just the quick "WAIT TO START" cycle and decided to put on a regulator to get it around 18-22 psi. The 4601hp should definately put out more than that.
