Default Running lean...........I'm buggin..................... I hate this....

Ok, I thought I had my problem iron'd out with 8psi and fuel... but i guess not..

At WOT 5k and above the air/fuel meter goes completely red...

I have upped the fields a little and a lot to try and increase the fuel... thing is I should be ok at 8psi with what I have according to a lot of people.

I have an in-tank bbk fuel pump and a fuel pressure gauge hooked up inside the car. The fuel pressure is high and doesn't drop...

What the heck is the problem?

Mind you I don't get on it every day above 5k, so my boost fix is still there.. but what happens when an SS rolls up on me?? I'm sure I will need the power above 5k to take em down!!!

yes what injectors, what FMU ratio, and is that BBK pump high pressure? With stock injectors on 8 pai you should be somewhere around 120 psi with a 10:1 disk. I dont think those intanks can go that high. I recommend some 310's, lower the rise rate to 8:1 and get a Bosch fuel pump.

I think you're on the right track.. those intank pumps cant flow at those high fuel pressures. If you are running an FMU you need an inline pump.
