Question enough fuel pressure

just installed my westech fuel pressure gauge . i have 13 pounds pressure at idle and 6 pounds at wot.is this normal for a stock lift pump? i also changed the fuel filter so i would get a good reading.

it's a bit weak, would be better to see it up closer 8-10 psi minimum. Changing to high flow banjo fittings would help, unless you are eventually going to put in a FASS or similar.

Do a Vulcan Relocation Kit. My FP is 15@idle and 8@WOT with a stock Carter.

Monitor guages for trends in readings. 13 PSI idle / 8 PSI WOT is now your baseline, watch for changes.
