Question Best Bang for buck Electric Fuel pump? Blazer falls on its face?

Ok I have a problem with my Blazer if I mash the throttle it'll fall on it's face, I've taken it to a shop and they can figure it out. I have alot of fuel line in it(custom fuel cooler) I'm thinking my fuel pump can't keep up? I have a electric Carter back by the tank. I have a brand new edelbrock 750, and the new Trick Flow aluminum heads, torker II intake. I had a cheap inline fuel pressure gauge on it and only like 3.5 pounds????

If it bogs down when you mash on the gas, wouldn't that mean it is getting too much fuel and flooding it out?

Um to much fuel Never thought of that but I can't see how running that low of pressure, but i guess low presure doesn't mean low volume.

Any other ideas???
