Default fuel pressure falling

Dyno thursday every time kicked down fuel pressure would drop from 60 to 30 pds. Car run real lean. 2002 running stock in tank and areo 1000 inline with 50# injector. Pulled 505 hp at 4500 steady drop of after. haven't seen this problem til I increased injector and supercharger boost to 15#. any ideas?

My guess would be the stock intank FP is your problem. I had a T-Rex inline with the stock pump not too long ago and my dyno went pretty much the same way but. My Tuner said the Stock pump can't keep up with the fuel demands of the inline and is working as hard as it can but it's just not going to handle that kind of need and that I should get the walbro 340 intank pump and get rid of the inline all together. I've done that and would recommend you look into it as well

do the walbro in tank and loose the in-line.. but i would also be suspect of that stock regulator since the drop is so big with 2 pumps going..

my stock regulator was bad. i replaced it when i upgraded the whole fuel system with an aftermarket one.
