Question 50 psi at the Rails

I can't for the life of me figure why I'm only getting 50psi at the rails. A/F is on point at idle and when driving. Slightly rich on the top end with out nitrous. Car runs fine, fires right up with a turn of the key. I've changed the fuel filter and did my annual sea foam of the entire system.

Any thoughts?

I'm getting ready to go on the 2008 Bandit Run(http://www.thebanditrun.com/) and want there to be no issues.
I do have a racetronix fuel pump and hotwire kit at the house to install soon, but I don't have the time to get it done by Monday.

So what should I do or is there nothing to worry about?

Thanks, Ken

Can you describe your fuel system? it will give us a better idea what you have.

The car has only 26,000 miles on it. So you still think its the pump?

They have been known to fail with much less than that.
