nothing less than 10psi no matter how much throttle and your ddrp pump isn't the best option out there.

I suggest an AirDogII or FASS HD150. Both have 2 filters to keep the supply to your delicate VP44 very clean, and lots of clean fuel.

with my AirDog II 165, i set it to idle at 20psi, and with half inch line from the tank to pump, i never see less then 18.5 psi even with the Adrenaline Smarty stack set to kill.

you don't have to go big on the pump a 95 series on my truck made 603 before I changed out because I had 2 vp trucks and put a bigger pump on to be safe. the fass platinum series would work fine and save some cash
