ok I'm finally getting some boost. NOw the problem seems that it bogs down at wide open throttle and when I back off it runs great. I cleared the egr code but i'm still wondeirng if it'* the egr valve?

not really RPM related boging. It'* more dependant on how far the throttle is opening.

cats not the problem. I tested fuel pressure today and I'm only getting 30-35lbs. So i'm thinking my pump is dying.

It'* about time on the pump. Let'* get a key on/ignition off check, then idle, then idle with the vac line pulled off the regulator.

My 93 already has a new one, and my 95 is due.

The key on key off pressure was low also. I can't remember the exact number. So what replacement pump should I go with. I'm planning on modding this motor eventually so I'll want the best pump.

Stock pump will support 400hp (crank). Buy whichever you find cheaper. Either AC Delco or Walbro.
