fuel pump setup R U running
I am losing fuel pressure on 1 out of 5 WOT runs causing a real bad lean spike. It's only a spike cuz I let off the gas as soon as that WB leaves the 11.5 area....it makes it to 17:1 for a split second.
The pump is my second stock pump. I have now the Magnacharger inline booster and the stock regulator. I know some of you run the walbro 255 in tank, but is that with the bucket? Does anybody make the direct replacement for truck's tanks yet? I know I shopped it last year (before I got the second stocker)and you had to either modify your bucket or just go bucketless.
I'd love a plug and play with bucket...but I have a feeling I will still need to modify it to get those results. Any help on some product I am missing out on? The stocker is a MU1089 setup...last year racetronix couldn't help me.

So you have an inline booster pump and the 43lb marine injectors and you are getting a lean spike sometimes?? I hope Im not having the same issue. Is this common? Is this why you replaced the last pump? The only thing Ive heard of is a single or dual intank walbro.

Sometimes it stays stable at 55-57psi, but most of the time it's all over the place until you hit the gas, then it goes up. And about 80% of the time at WOT it's fine, hell it's like 66psi. But then like 20% of the time the pressure will slip down and of course I am not watching it, I am watching the WB/AFR. I am clueless on this. I don't hear of this problem with anyone else or I would jump all over that thread. I am plain desperate here on this one. I have read the recent threads about this, but it doesn't quiet explain my issues. Actually confuses it more. I just don't know if a higher volume pump in the tank would make this go away.
