So what kinda fuel pressure are you seeing? Any fluctuations? The possible suspects: Fuel pump, injectors, regulator. If the filter is good and the lines are ok, there isn't much left ( mechanically ).

PCM OK? Any codes? Hypertech boffo? Something go awry with that dry shot? Start by undoing the hypertech. Then the NOS.

i have it at the dealer so far they cleaned the fuel injectors and changed the cats
You're at the wrong dealer!!!!

i just spoke with the dealer . they couldnt figure it out . they said no codes were coming up . i had it back to 100% stock when i brought it in . funny thinh is when i had the hypertech on it it ran better . when it was stock the car really would stammer at 70 mph when i flored it
