didn't know that I needed a fuel pressure regulator with a stock pump, will look into getting one though.

fuel line will be re-routed tomorrow, just was trying to do my homework on whether a higher volume pump was a good idea, and if so which one to run. I guess that's how I should have worded it. I guess I figured that a higher volume fuel pump would also help with my issue and be a good upgrade if the carb can handle it.

fuel line will be re-routed tomorrow and then go from there.
