you are thinking of the diaphragm pump that comes stock, the piston lift pump is on 2nd gen 12v's and the Low pressure piston pump is from industrial/agricultural set-ups

I see 12 to 13 psi after the filter and have seen 3 psi wide open. Thats at 300 hp tune. PToombs see's 14 to 15 with his but he runs a bigger fuel filter then stock.
