Default which lift pump should I go with???

I have a 98 dodge ram 2500 24v. I wanna change out the stock lift pump but don't know what to choose. I'm not looking to build a race or pull truck but I do want to add a lil more power with fuel economy and dependabilty in mind. Now I've seen replacement lift pumps to the Air dog 150 and the fass versions as well. Here's kinda what I want to do to my truck I just need some input from you guys to let me know if the fass replacement lift pump sufficient enough or do I need something more like the airdog 150. I'm just pretty much just want to do all the bolt ons, stock turbo and ip, edge juice. Nothing to crazy but I would like to see around 300-400 hp and 500-600 ft/lbs torque. Let me know what you think and maybe what you have done and the kind of power you gained also what fuel system you think is best and why. Thanks guys!

dont get the fass direct replacement they dont hold pressure very well. for the money get the raptor 100 150 for around 380 bucks.

imo, id go with an airdog 150. gives ya plenty of fuel for what ever u end up doing, cause if ur like most of us, u will get used to it, and want a lil more power, and a lil more, and so on. also does a better job of filtering ur fuel

If its running right than a lift pump will provide no additional power. Its only there to provide fuel to the injection pump.

I went with the Raptor 150 mounted down on the frame rail, works very well so far.

I have not seen it drop below 15 Lbs. at WOT.

You won't be dissapointed with the Airdog, Airdog 2 or Raptor.
