Have you done anything with the wiring to the pump?

I've personally run a single intank 255 past the 600 RWHP point, and done it on other cars as well. It sounds like the pump isn't seeing full voltage.

The 100% load/default thing raised the inexperienced tuner flag for me.

Just don't let him learn his way around Edit, but learning a hole in your pistons

I am runing the racetronix kit which has the wiring coming off of the battery that is supposed to supply full voltage to the pump. The thing that probably threw everybody for a loop on the tuning thing is probably my inexperience and not explaining the problem right.

I have a single intank with over 600rwhp so it can be done

Have you changed your fuel filter recently? Are your injectors running static?

It sounds more like an injector issue than a pump issue
Stock Injectors? May want to up your injectors to flow more your pump is good for more than 500hp IMHO

The Racetronix system should be good for ~700hp. It is a good setup.
And as Harlan said, we would hate for you to detonate a piston while he was learning.
Something is not right, you have the injectors and the pump to support what you are doing. Replaced the fuel filter?

Thanks for the help guys. I will try the fuel filter and see if that helps.
