2psi is plenty.  I'd stick with the stock pump.

Hey Dave,

Why do you think you need a non-stock pump?

from the sounds of the latest posts here in the engine tech forum...it sounds like the new thing to do.

i'm going to put dual electric fuel pumps in-line in my car. plus i might hook up a high pressure pump to the accelerator circuit on my carb for added boost!! or get 4 pumps and a 4 line splitter and plumb them directly to each intake port for constant power on!!
:P

The stock pump is leaking rebuild kit is 20 a electric is 45
