basics here I would make sure there are no vacuum leaks and that the PCM does have the right MAF code to match the MAF you are using and then clean the MAF with proper cleaner. Also make sure you have the proper vacuum source controlling the regulator.

resurrecting the dead lol

forced induction fueling issues to consider
1) 3/8 min from the pump to the FPR and 5/16 for the return line
2) for the time it takes to drop the tank etc... just go with what works... the walboro 255 and put the foam cover off the OEM pump on it to reduce the "noise" OR use the walboro external 255 as an aux pump (as used in my vortech sc kit)
3) a manifold pressure indexed fuel pressure regulator is a must !
4) multiply the lbs per hr of the injector divided by .5 x the number of cylinders = HP safely achieved at an 80% duty cycle
ie red tops from the syclone/typhoon - 32lbs / .5 x 6 = 384 hp
ie my 50lb injectors - 50 / .5 x 6 = 600 hp

5) most GM tuners recommend 50 psi as a base setting (vacuum line on) and begin to tune from there.

these specs are proven and safe

Well got the new pump in and it didnt solve anything. I re gapped my plugs to .50 and everything is good now. Annoying thing is the Walbro pump is loud but I can live with it. Im assuming the spark was being blown out under boost but why would this look like im not getting enough fuel?


general knowledge in the forced induction community
1) shrouded electrode plugs dont work ie bosch platnum
2) a smaller gap is required and, if you can, go 1 range cooler on the plug
