Unhappy

I'm using a 45DCOE Webber carburetor on a 12A. I have a fuel pressure reg on it, but on the upper rpms I lose pressure. Can I use a Holley fuel pump that holds a constant line pressure of 4psi or can I get away with using the one that holds constant 9psi? In this case, is more line presure better? <_<

i find fuel pumps really confusing, if you have a regulator than a 9 psi pump is ok, but you are looking for flow.

Carter fuel pumps are nice and I would recommend them.
