Actually I think that piece that broke off touched the valve. I will be bringing them in to have it checked out.

I am pretty sure it was the fuel pump. I am guessing one of the hoses is loose. I have a Racetronix Plug & Play ready to go in.

I was running 42# injectors and a Walbro in Tank.
My FP dropped from 58# to 40#

I need to go to a rail mounted regulator.

So ya think that if you had a rail mounted regulator and the lines wernt loose you could have made alot more hp safely? How much more you think you could have done? GL getting a forged engine.
