Got the fuel pressure checked tonight. I am 99.9% sure that is the problem. It was 39-40 PSI at idle and only 48PSI at WOT. So is there any possiblity that it could be a clogged filter (because i have one right in the trunk and i dont imagine it would hurt to try it).

If it hasen't been changed in a while you should swap it out either way.

Well after pondering this idea for a little while last night andthis morning.... I came up with.... it is 48 which is the boaderline of what i am suppose to have. That is at 4000 rpms (car was in N and that is as high as it goes, as everyone knows), most of my KR comes in at 4000 and gets higher as the rpms go higher. So i may try to find a person with a tester that can like reach in the car of something and test it at higher then 4000(if you guys think there will be a difference). Also maybe it is the filter (higher rpms it may be struggling). I dunno i will change that out and maybe it is that. Anymore ideas?

Was that with the vac line to the FPR disconnected? I don't know if there would be a difference, but I'd think that you'd want to have one you can read from the drivers seat. I don't think you dump nearly as much fuel in holding at 4k in neutral as you would if you were WOT... That'* almost assuming your injectors are outflowing your pump....

No the vac line wasnt dissconnected.

I may go and get it checked at my cousins, i am pretty sure he has one that can go right in the car.

You gapped them at .060 and they were used right? Maybe the cam needs them cooler and gapped smaller?
