I appreciate all of the help guys. I bought the 1212 and the Napa filter base (4770) for it. I had to run halfway across town to a hydroloic shop to find the fittings though. FYI the Baldwin base is about $10 cheaper, but they did not have it in stock at my local distributor.

When it comes to pumps, any extra suction restriction will place an extra load on any pump. Short term, no issue. Long term, depends on the pump and how often you run it with restricted suction side flow. You'll probably be fine running without the lift pump. A lot of guys do that and seem to have no trouble.
Me, on the other hand, well... I honestly tend to over-engineer everything I do (like getting a waterproof in-line fuse holder for the 1 amp fuse I'll be using to wire my GP LED mod under the hood).

its also helpful in letting me know when it is time to change filters, as the readings will become rather erratic.
say it with me: gauges, gauges, gauges!

Scott,
If the fuel pump already has a problem, the filter "might" help bring it to light. That filter presents next to no restriction to the pump, <1psi of pressure drop at 200gph, the stock pump moves about 35gph. I have a ton of those filters out there with no problems at all.

Would moving the stock pump before the itp/baldwin filter base be of any help. I recently did my intank mods along with a baldwin 1212 filter and was thinking of plumbing the system to where the pump draws fuel from tank, then pushes fuel into the baldwin base rather then suck from it. So it would be (tank-pump-baldwin-fuel bowl).
I thought about this after reading through all of kwiks intank pump mod.....
