Ive been using ebay 140 gph fuel pumps over the last 4 years in conjunction with a factory lift pump, modified ofv on my 95' with a 180 pump.
I deleted the fuel heater/strainer all together last year. My 2nd used piston pump just died and my pusher sounds like its getting close. I have the pusher mounted close to the tank and wired with 12 gauge wire and a relay with a toggle. I was going to add a hobbs switch to activate the pusher when I the truck is making boost. with the 140 turned on it idles/cruises around 50 psi, on a long wide open run it drops to the mid to high 20s sometimes it stays above 30 psi.
I may be going to 5x.018s soon from the 16s.
I thinking an ebay sump and raptor 150 or an a1000 or holley 12-1800.
the holley has pretty impressive flow rates and it rated for diesel and 200gph and up to at least 60 psi
Holley 12-1800 200 GPH Dominator In-Line Billet Fuel Pump
Aeromotive A1000 Fuel Pump, 150 GPH, 70 psi, EFI / Carb - Pegasus Auto Racing Supplies
Both the big pumps require 150$ regulators and plumbed in return lines, big feed lines. That holley is submersible and rated for 3,000 hours
So Ill be 600$ plus into a holley or a1000 setup and a bit of time
This is a daily but its gradually becoming less of one. Id like to drop 750 on a fass titanium setup but that that's probably not an option. nickel and diming the holley setup might be easier for the wife lol
Im just not 100% sure if Ill need more than the raptor 150. The price looks good. The truck is going to see a little n20 this summer and as of right now the k31 cleans up the 5X.016s by 2nd gear and with 25-30 psi lift pump pressure and no plate. The turbo is making 58 psi and the drive pressure is less than 1.5 if Im reading the bouncing dp gauge correctly
