To Go Electric or not

I'm thinking of switching over to a electrice fuel pump system for my 94 Ram 2500 P7100. I tried to search but the site lets you only search every 60 sec. add's up. I would like input as to porceedure and cost ver performance. I'm just running stock right now.

if you are not pushinf over 500hp I would not change the stock manual fuel pump out. It is very reliable and provides the necessary fuel pressure needed for the p-pump.

I did 550hp (and was 20 psi low on boost on the dyno) with the stock lift pump. I haven't checked the fuel pressure in a while, but last time I did, it was still in the normal range. I just replaced it this week since it had been ticking loudly for the last 3 years. But it pumped out the fuel just the same.

X3, the mechanical is very reliable, electronics not so much.
