When you get on going down the road, and it starts to buck, need a little bigger lift pump.

The only way it will help is if the factory pump is in good shape. If it starts to fail, any aftermarket will be useless, and your sittimg on the side of the road. Factory pump won't allow suction, so the only way is to bypass it completely is w/ a FASS or AD pump.
