Another option is to run a Carter 4600 on the frame rail that puts out 8psi. My factory LP was dropping in pressure - was 9psi idle and 5 psi WOT. Put on the Carter pusher and the pressure holds steady 14psi idle/9psi WOT for about a year now, even with the failing factory pump still on.

I replaced a working pump for a new one that shows the same exact numbers you describe. They are hit and miss, only reason I even went and got the new one is beacuse someone here claimed 18 idle, couldn't drag it below 15 WOT.
You can read about it HERE

Page 2 is where I get the new pump on a realize it is worse than the one I replaced.
