Question Fuel Pressure

What is the pressure that a stock Lift Pump puts out. I just installed the guage and the pump is putting out 8-9 PSI at Idle. At WOT it dropped to 1PSI. I know i'll need to replace the pump, but is the pump actually bad for a stock set-up?

I believe the stocker should be 14-15psi at idle, and it should by no means go below 5psi ever.
My suggestion is the FASSII. I'm 18-19 idle, 16-17 cruise, and around 14 WOT. Plus 4 year unlimited mileage warranty.

Yeah, my pump in stock form put out about what Moose saw-- 14-15 idle, 11-12 cruise, 5 WOT (this was with 90hp injectors, though).

Since I upgraded the lines, I know have 17idle, 14-15 cruise, 10 WOT. This is with the same stock LP.

I'm guessing my bigger injectors may need a bigger pump-- we'll see.

Talk to Rip, and get the best price. I also had him make me a line to go from the filter canister to the VP with a tapped gauge port in it.
