Default 12psi problems

An old problem has came back. It feels similar to my spark being blowed out. Just seems to stop pulling around 5k it has a newer plugs gapped at .0024k just to eliminate it being
blowed back. Got a 255pump in the tank and just to eliminate fuel pressure I put an old inline pump with no change. I don't know it seems like my inlet could be collapsing anyone bad this prob????

So those of you wondering if your inlet is colapsing, it just might be...
