Default Installed Fuel Pump... WOW =)

ok sound i put in the new fuel pump today, and all i can say is WOW what a difference. when i took the pump out, i found my low pressure problem. there were 2 filter screens in the tank baffle! someone had opened the tank before, and forgot to take out the old baffle. just thought everyone would like to know. quick question... what is the best idle fuel pressure to be at. im at 39 and i love it...

I wanna get a new pump too but I am just too lazy to get around to it since it doesn't have to be done right now.

Yeah im sure I would have been lazy, but after the H/C/I and 24#rs went in the stocker wouldnt keep up.
Its really not as bad as I thought it would be, honestly the hardest part was the filler neck to the tank
