I know alot of people run the Holley Blue fuel pump. I have the red one. It works good for me. The red one pretty much maxes out at 6 or so, so the blue one would be best for your application. I am sure more people will jump in and give their opinions also.

NEW FUEL LINE FILTER FIRST then a new pump maybe then check over his work and see if he screwed up, It don't have to be a hot rock to be a fun car.
