Is your fuel pressure dropping? You might be loosing your fuel pump. Blip the throttle and watch the fuel pressure if you have a guage and see if it drops. If so its your fuel pump

It should not go bad that quickly but I went through 2 brand new holly pumps in 3 days because of bad fuel management. Too much fuel pressure in the lines. You really should list your complete setup so we can help you out better

I have an f-max kit with an FMU from a sohc turbo kit...
I put in a walbro 255 intank pump...
It was running great like that... the only prob. I had was a slipping clutch...
Then a week later it starts to lean out after 5 grand....
so i installed prelude injectors w/resistor pack.. to get more fuel, but still no luck....
hope this helps...
thanx again for any help....
later........Z

If you have checked what I told you then my only suggestion is dyno time. You can't go wrong with a wide band O2.

so you have a 12:1 fmu w/ prelude 310cc injectors and a 255lph intank or inline fuel pump? What's your fuel pressure look like?
