I was providing more info incase you were worried about any fluctuation.

Yeah, I believe that.

Given my budget, I decided to try putting in some wiring that I had on hand. I ran an 8ga wire from the engine bay and a different ground for the Bosch. I'll test that out tomorrow. It started and ran, anyway.

I plan to order a proper 4ga setup but that'll take another week since I need to drill the firewall and will have to go to Dad's for that. I should buy a battery-powered drill one of these days.

Thanks man. I ordered the 4ga wiring kit today and I'm sure I'll find an opportunity on the cruise to do a pull and test the current configuration. :D

I gained 1-2psi at idle just from the wiring change and that's probably a good sign.

The 8ga from the engine bay didn't change anything so I assume a 4ga wouldn't either.

I have one of those Jay Racing 044's on the way--should arrive Wed. I'll still do power distribution blocks in the trunk (that should arrive Tues) since I don't like how messy it looks right now.

Here's the Jay Racing 044. The brand-name on it is Protec. They bench test every pump prior to shipment so swapping this in tonight should answer that question.

Ever done something that you knew was a bad idea because it would "only be a few minutes" or something like that?

I figured I'd be fine using an un-fused lead to prime my fuel pumps and I was reminded how powerful electricity is when messed with. Don't worry, the battery is fine.
