Default fuel filter

hey guys, well i was havinga problem with my fuel pressure goin down to 1-2 psi when i slightly hammer on the pedal, so i decided to change my fuel filter and see what i got...now when i mash on it i get about a steady 6psi instead of 1 or 2...SWEET, because i cant afford a fass system right now, i spent to much money on stuff and i have none left.

My 98.5 has a brand new factory pump and puts out 13 at idle and 8 to 10 under load. You might want to buy another carter pump from ebay for 100 bucks to hold you over till you can get the one you want later.

That's good. It must have just been the filter.
