What modifications do you have?

Higher fuel pressure in general increases fuel atomization, which results in better performance (when looking at just that issue.) However, if you are running rich and you make it even richer you are just going to lose power.

The stock ECU runs rich in several areas as it is (safety), I actually gained HP by turning down my FP by 2psi.
