Well if I never encountered a low fuel pressure situation, why should I kick on the second pump?

Fuel system volume is not changing, so if fuel pressure is constant without dropping, why the need for the second pump to kick on. I assume its to make sure that when you elevate into higher boost levels you are already making the added fuel flow for when the motor guzzles more down.

Assuming thats a correct analysis, I guess the hobbs switch gives you more of a cushion of time for pump to kick on than a fuel pressure switch, which would be as soon as the motor demands more.

But, you are right, a calvin switch is prob the best.
