What about the inline filter not the sponge thing that camw with your pump. And I would invest in some 36# injectors.

I would hope the bag on the filter was changed, Some times pulling the pump things can fall in or get sirred up and sucked in.

Your sig states that it'll be tuned soon......

I assume it's not tuned yet? If not it'll run all sorts of lean.

You could be running out of injector causing it to go lean. And the fuel filter is under the rear driver's side passenger seat.

Judging by your mods if you are running stock injectors it is a very good chance that you are maxxing the stock injectors out. I would bump up to at least a set of Ford 30#er's (equivalent to 35-36# at our 58psi fp) and change your fuel filter.

Just for reference I was running a 110% duty cycle on my stock injectors with a mild set of ported LS6 heads, stock LS1 intake, and a 232/234 .595/.598 112 Cam. So with your much bigger MS4 and a lot better flowing Fast90/90, I'm sure you are running just as much or more duty cycle if you have stock injectors. What did the tuner say was the issue?

Glad you got it fixed!!! So did you have a bad walbro fuel pump? I've had them go bad on me before and it was mostly due to wiring (using to small gauge wire for the pump) Hot Wire kit is recommended.
