I'll be right beside you with any number of my "wooden clubs" and .30 cal slugs.

My personal preference is the carter pumps, my 6.9 has a P4070 on it. Unlike the holleys, it is a fuel lubed/cooled motor, permanent magnet... The things go forever, and I have experience with them in just about every application you can think of, both diesel and gas.
I would take the Carter GP4600HP out of the four. You need all the volume You can get and put a regulator if it is too much. One thing I learned is some of this pumps are rated to some level but when You put Your foot on the go pedal You don't want the pressure to fall and that is exactly what happens with many of this pumps they don't supply enough volume so the pressure falls very fast. I have two pumps inline and I can keep good pressure this way but one pump alone can not handle it, I have a pressure gauge right before the IP and I can see it fall when I get on it fully loaded up hill. The holley was good for this but that crappy shaft seal makes it dangerous to Me.

I've been having fuel starvation issues with my Carrier pump. Would putting another one after the first, be enough to overcome my pressure fall-off?
It depends if it is an obstruction or volume problem but it fixed it for Me
I'm running a carrier/facet pump (until it dies) and the pump on the link I posted before. The second one looks like a very good design but on My setup I need two of them or I would starve the pump. I'm still looking for a good pump I can use instead of two (thank You tractorman) the marine ones seem a bit cheaper and still stronger than the ones offered out there for diesel truck applications.
The pumps in parallel will not work if later they connect to the same line bc they will fight for the fuel and starve one another until the weakest one quit working. I installed both My pumps in the same line one after another and the pressure is higher than parallel also they seem to work better this way. Keep in mind I have a few filters before and after the pumps to assure the fuel is well filtered before it gets to the IP.
