the guy at the dyno where i got it tunned told me it was dying out. i had to purchase a fuel pressure regulator that day from a different shop cause even with the vafc going into +5 it wouldn't richen the air/fuel ratio cause the dyno guy said that the 10psi i was running was pushing some of the fuel back into the injectors. after the FPR was installed it did good but the more times the car did a dyno pull, more fuel had to be added cause the reading was coming in leaner. it was good by the time i left, but the dyno guy told me that if the engine was bogging after i turned on the car the next day after it cooled down that the fuel pump was dying and to tighten the FPR all the way so it would let less fuel in, just so i would be able to drive the car (without going into boost) no problems with it the next day though. i was just asking cause i remember him telling me that and discount auto has a special on fuel pumps right now. let me know what you guys think, i don't know much about this but i know i've been running 10-even 14psi in 4th & 5th and no detonation.

I heard if you run your car under a 1/4 tank of gas it can mess up the walbro 255. True?
