Fuel pump issues
I have a 2001 2500, i bought the edge juice with attitude and i noticed my fuel pressure was low. (8 at idol- drops to 2 when I stomp on it) even on stage 2 it will beep at me. Idk what to do because I hear people say just get a new pump when pressure is low. I did that and its still low... I was wondering if there is a way to just turn up the pump I just bought? It seems to function just not at a high enough volume.
It is a 5 speed, manual, cold air intake, strait piped, 2 inch lift with 35's. nothing too special but its my baby help if you can! I don't wanna have to buy a injector pump...

I have looked into the fass system but kinda bummed about the cost. I know on the 12 valves you can turn them up a little. there is a fuel pressure regulator in the 24 valve If I was to put a shim on it or something would that help? Or what if I was to just get bigger fuel lines. Im not sure what the possibilities are besides just another fuel pump like the fass

I assume you have a block mounted pump?
When was the last time the fuel filter was change?
It could be a failed overflow valve in the VP44 return line bolt. If it has failed nothing is holding the fuel in the pump, it is all free flowing back into the tank. They are about $30, and I recommended they are changed as part of a maintenance plan. Ever 60,000miles (100,000kms).

#4 is the one your after. I'm not saying that it the problem, but it could be. $30 would be a cheap fix.
Since you have the intank pump, your pretty much in trouble. I had one as well, and m fuel pressure was crap. I know it is expensive, but he best best is a FASS or AirDog with a Vulcan Draw Straw V.

OP,
Just like conner stated, you can get away with a raptor. I have even read threads where a raptor was used and the person was able to put a couple of filters in line for a similar setup like a FASS or Airdog at a fraction of the cost. Do a seach on here and you can find some good reading and get some ideas. Hope it helps.
