Pressure fluctuating like that would indicate either a pump failing or a regulator failing, seems to me.

I think my problem might be the vent no bigger enough, magna fuel said I need at least a 8 n for vent , all I have is a 1/4 vent line that might be why it is stumbling a little on bottom only,but might be why fuel pressure is up and dn , the fuel pump I have is a pro 500 suppose to be up to 2000 Hp pump .

What about a 200 shot put on my bb , does it wear a motor out quicker , I have never tried it before and problay won't but there are some boys around here gunning for me and my stroker motor , I don't think they got nothing for it .

How about loosening the gas cap to confirm if this is the problem, just a thought

Sent off today for another fuel regulator , I turned key on today without it running just fuel pump was running and the fuel regulater just kept going over until it pegged the needle without car running , so I think that is what it is . I took it aprt it looked good must be something wrong with it that I can't see
