Your fuel pressure is high if it's a stock fuel system. Should be down in the upper 50's to low 60's. The pressure drop at WOT sounds right but the numbers are high.
From what I know it's stock fuel system. There have been 2 previous owners. What can go wrong with high pressure? I know low pressure will kill the injectors but not sure about too much
well....if it's too high for too long, you can push out the orings in the injectors. not sure if 72 is high enough to do that but better safe than sorry.
was hitting around 1300 on egt at wot earlier, maybe it was just the first day i had it in, also im noticing the temps cool down very quick. i can pull into my driveway or into school after driving hard and after 45 seconds to a minute be under 300egt to shut down
Chit mine hits 1600 like it's nobodys business on SRL.............Fuel pressure drops a hell of alot more than that two buddy......Where ya got your tap for FP??
i have had a lot problems with my glow shift gauge.EGT and fuel psi worked well at first,than the fuel stays peged at 100psi and the EGT swings back and forword. i called glow shifed all they did was give me a deal on new ones and after 6 months they they did hte same thing
did you check your connections, i had a bad connection from the gauge to the sending unit for the fuel gauge and it would peg 100psi but i fixed the wiring and it works fine now
with my glow shift boost gauge i kept blowing the vacuum line off everytime i hit more than 35 psi but sct is easy to install and you can adapt the programmer with it in the future, my brother has one on his stroker and it hasn't given him any problems but i won't lie glow shift gauges definitely look the best for sure
That's because you can't use that cheap crap that comes with all the mechanical boost gauges...that stuff sucks. Get rid of that stupid white plastic T fitting and rubber boot and use a compression fitting for the 1/8" boost line.
I have had a few issues with my GS gauges as well. They made it right though. I dont drive my truck everyday, so for me, it wasnt issue to send in my gauges for a week or so. They tested all my gauges, and my egt probe. Then sent me out a new probe and new gauges for the price of shipping. I was way out of my warranty as well.
I had the pegged fuel PSI gauge, and a wondering trans temp gauge. Then they all just died. I would spend the extra money to get better gauges if I were to do it again. But I cant complain too much because they have taken care of me.
my fuel pressure gauge is wacked also sometime it dont work then it will build pressure sender is going bad i think. i usually read 60 psi egts go up to 1600 easy with erics tune
From a hard dig, I can easily pull 1500 degrees with Matt's SRL. Stock pump and spring, I manage to stay around 48-50 PSI on the fuel as well.
