Went to make a pull up and out of the sun pit, after mid throttle for about 10 secs , I gave it full throttle and the it ran for a bit then my air fuel gauge went to 17!!! and sled was dying of no fuel. It seems to be sucking float bowls dry or not getting enough fuel. If I cant hold'er to the pin, why even have 300 hp. Anybody have any help.....
Sled does it regardless of what elevation, just when throttle held wide:confused::rant:

Checking Filters but I dont know how much to set fuel pressure regulator to or how.

Sled - 2004 RX 1 Alpine front mount
16 lbs of boost 50/50 or 10 lbs on 94
Air/Fuel set @ 11.2-12.2 @ 6500 and up
Head shimmed with motor work

you need to check the fuel pressure at the fuel regulater with a gauge or purchase one and install it into the line . then you can see what it is at idle and adjust according to visual on fuel pressure. what type of fuel reg do you have.

Last time I had that problem it was a cracked header.It would pop like crazy and run out of fuel.Watch your fuel pressure regulator.It will tell you story.mine cracked right where the turbo and the header meet
