Maybe your fuel pressure got bumped up with the new pump.

Sometimes the return side needs tending to when you increase fuel flow. At idle is when the return side is returning the most fuel.

problem seems to be solved, changed the return line from stock to 5/16" idle
like before.

change the fuel gauge and i see a bump of 2-3 psi at idle. But with the new return line idle fine.
