Default Intank or inline walbro???

I recently put on the 60# injectors for the Maggie and was wondering what some of you guys have done for your fuel pump?? At WOT the fuel pressure is about 57 and drops to about 25 or 30 and gets worse as rpms climb! Any suggestions on what to do???its irritating!!

Intank is better than inline by a long shot. Start with that and I'm sure it will get better.

Id get an intake. maybe some one can come up with a different and better theory but i dont like the idea of an 255 inline pump pulling thru a weaker(stock) pump. to me it seems like the your inline is having to work harder to pull fuel thru the stock pump which is not pumpin the volume the inline is pumping. just an opinion im sure some one can prove me wrong

Theory behind 2 pumps in-line, or in "series" is that with 2 pumps, they will split the pressure duties between the two pumps. So each pumps is only have to supply about 30psi. Since fuel pumps are flow rated at usually 43.5 psi, but they will flow more volume at less pressure. That is how you get more fuel past the stock pump, with an in-line pump, then just the stock pump could flow by its self. Make since?
