Default Fuel Problem I Think!!!!!!!!!!help

I have a 1997 Camaro SS it has CC503 p&p heads and all the supporting mods even tune from PCMforless/trifecta perf. Stock fuel pump, anyways I went to the track on DR's all suspension done and my 1st run was 13.7@101mph but then when I went back to the pits my car was struggling to stay on, so much so that I had to keep my foot on the throttle to keep it on when moving very slowing or it would shut off. It run fine after being in park and keeping the RPM's at around 1300rpms for while. Ran it again and ran a 14.1@98mph went back to the pits and it would shut off when braking to a standstill in drive, and once again gave it a little throttle for a while and would run fine after a couple of minutes. So I went home and measured my FP and it was at around 45psi @ idle. What could it be??????????

Can rule out limp mode by looking at your MPH. Can you scan the car and post it here so we can see some hard numbers? Have you performed a full tune-up? Clean MAF, TB, new plugs/wires, fuel filter, injector cleaner. Really need some more information about your setup.

It may be an ignition problem. Need more information to confirm. If it was running limp mode the fans would run even if the car is cold! The car should still run with out your foot in the gas. Are you throwing a code? Do you have access to a scanner of some sort?

check rockers, intake/exhaust leaks, ignition, and see if your losing fuel pressure. opti would make it have a miss. also your tune could be off.

that car should be trapping 110-115
