While dynoing my car. I notice the my FP dropped from 60 - 40 psi. Even on the street at part-throttle, it drops to 50.

Before I install an inline pump. Is this normal and expected for the power I have??

You are running out of pump. I would do an intank Walbro pump before an inline pump. The inline pump will help with keeping the pressure up but it will not give you any extra fuel. The inline just can not pull anymore fuel through the stock pump.

I hope it will be enough, I already ordered one.

If you are dropping that hard already trust me it will not be enough even if it looks to be a steady pressure it will not be enough volume.

Thank, I was just making sure there was nothing else I should check.

I would get a good intank in there as well.....

Having fuel pressure drop at WOT with your compression can be playing with fire

Definitely save yourself some trouble and get a Walbro in there. I hate I dic'd around with an inline all that time.

You guys have been doing this alot longer that me. I am convinced. If I cannot change the order, I will just order an intake. Anything special I need to order? Or just go through one of the sponsors?

Just shop the web for the best rate... (and someone who says they have it in stock now).

I tend to patronize the sponsors here, since they try to accomadate our needs, even if it is a few dollars more (as long as they have it in stock or can get it to me when I need it).

I agree. I support the sponsors which support the site which help me make an informed decision.

So every kit will have everything I need for the install?

They do not make an easy kit for our cars to install the pumps. I have the pump and a install kit in stock. I am also offering them installed in the sender as an exchange basis.

Hmm, if my pressure is dropping from 62 to 56 would an inline help me? I've got a walbro intank and 42# injectors feeding a 427. Would a vacuum referenced regulater be better? Which one is easier to install?

What is your Inj Duty cycle at peak RPMs? That kind of pressure drop does not sound unmanageable if it is consistent and enough fuel.

After I installed a Ractronix and BAP, I had a pressure drop. Turns out my fuel filter was clogged, huge difference before/after new filter.

Try changing the filter, cheapest and easiest thing to do.

Once of the first thing I changed. Same issue.

I changed my Fuel Pump in my 98 to a Walbro 255 pump and I noticed a big difference. It runs a 65 psi and only drops to 59 psi after hard driving

ED I hate to say it but I had the same problem. Does yours drop just sitting in park revving the engine? mine did. I checked everything. I already had a t-rex fuel punp inline. I added a walbro pump in the tank and it did nothing. I even disconnected my fuel lines and blew them out to make sure something wasnt stuck. I bypassed the filter, the pump and nothing. I tried everything. I gave up and bought rails, braided lines, aremotive eliminator pump, regulator and a sumped tank. problem solved. and it cost around $2,000 to do.

I haven't notice it dropping when reving. But it does drop at part-throttle.

Wonder if it could be the regulator?? Did you change that out first??

I changed the regulator too, Only thing is its in the stock pump housing inside the tank. It wasnt that either.
