The pump's GPH rating is at slightly under 60 PSI. They will work to higher levels too.

The top graph in that link is the 255 standard and high pressure. But, whatever. Just saying what happened under my hood.

Gordon,
I think you may be getting too much fuel at WOT. Try lowering the pressure.
Current:
01 AWD - Stock
98 AWD - Stock
Past:
93 4WD - 305 V8 - 5" lift - 31" tires
98 4WD DHC - 10" lift - 33" tires - Onboard air and Hydraulics - Snowplow
92 RWD - 350 V8 - lowered - 97 front clip
92 RWD - 350 V8 - converted to AWD - V6
91 AWD - 350 V8 - conversion van
94 RWD - 350 V8 - sons van
92 RWD - stock - sons van
93 RWD Shorty - project
89 RWD Shorty - parts van

How would you turn down the pressure on a factory regulator?

I wondered if the regulator could keep up or not. It is a head scrtcher.
