THD piston lift pump was installed today. It is running 13.5 psi of fuel pressure and does not got down but maybe 1-2 psi at WOT. I ordered the 15 psi pump and with the goldenrod filter installed I think 13.5 psi is respectable. I will update along the way as to the durability and longevity of the filter set up as well as the pump itself.

Drove 200 miles round trip yesterday and the fuel filter and new pump seem to be holding up and doing their job excellently.

After 400 miles with the GoldenRod filter, there is already sediment in the bottom of the bowl. Seems to be doing it's job. Fuel pressure is still between 13 and 15 psi at all times.

I just came back from a 3700 mile road trip with my First Gen. Fuel pressure dropped on the return leg of the trip from 12-15 psi to 6-9 psi. I just changed the filter element in the Goldenrod filter and fuel pressure is back up to 15psi. I couldn't be more happy with this set-up.
