Answer
You need to check with a gae to see what your fuel pressure is at. I like to use a long hose on my fuel pressure gage so I can tape it to the outside of the windshield as I drive down the highway so I can see what the pressure is doing under hard acceleration and when there is a load on the enginme as if climbing a steep hill.
