Fuel pressure drop after prime
I'm not sure if I'm in the right section, I recently installed and dyno tuned my ls3 01 camaro. The car pulled hard and put down good numbers 549/480. I have a thread in the dyno section. About 1 week after the tune the car started acting up. First, I noticed 1 out of 5 stop and go's the throttle would have a dead spot (from 0% to 30%). It didn't bog or act like anything was happening. Second symtom was lean idle 22.5 on innovate lm1. It started to have a small miss. I started testing, I pulled the plugs and they were whitish brown, with an green tint. All grounds were checked, fuel pressure, spark, injector pulse, compression 200-210, and valve springs, I still could not find the issue.
Now it's hardly running. Afr is extemly rich. With a bad miss and it stalls now. I pulled the plugs again to change them, they were black. I installed a new crank position sensor but still it's not better.
One thing I did notice is the fuel pressure go's from 65 to 40 instantly when I prime the system. But seems to hold 65 when idleing. It has a racetronix pump with Hotwire kit. I can't seem to diagnose the problem. But it seems to be getting worse. Any help would be appreciated. I'm out of ideas! Sorry for rambling

I'd scan it and see what the MAF, MAP, and fuel trims look like compared to when you tuned it. Could be a dirty MAF or an exhaust leak.
Can you watch fuel pressure while driving?
