Default Fuel Pressure issue?

I was changing my in line fuel filter to my fass ddrp the other day and now I will be putting a draw straw in due to an accident. I was trying to replace the filter because my pump runs 15-17 at idle and will stay above 10 during normal driving. While hauling a backhoe my fuel pressure was dropping to 2. I have found a fass 150 but I don't know if the draw straw will cure my pressure issues. Any thoughts. The cartridge filter wasn't dirty when I changed it the other day as well.

DDRPs IMO are no better than stock LPs. You need to get an AD 100 or a Fass 95 at minimum, especially with a power added like the Adrenaline.

I'm going to hopefully pick up a fass 150 this weekend.

I highly advise that my friend. The DDRPs can't keep up with the fuel demand.
