Finally got to take my LBZ to the track last night. After logging I found out I am having a big fuel issue. In the 1/8 mile my rail pressure drops to 7500 right at about the 60ft mark. Desired is 27500. Stays in that area the whole way.

On to the next part. Since I finished motor it always had a haze at idle and some odd balance rates when my cts is reading 4500. If I bump up rail to 8000 in cleans up great and my balance rates are great.

When I got motor done I hooked up my isspro rail pressure gauge and it only reads 2300 when my cts reads 4500. So I unhooked isspro gauge and just ran the cts. Last night I hooked it back up and it did the same thing.

So what I am thinking is my computer is not getting the right reading from my rail pressure sensor but my isspro gauge is actually right. But at that it has me scratching my head cause if my actual rail is 7500 and computer is commanding 27500 shouldn't my fprs be open all the way and not effect performance? I am thinking its a wire issue but just seem odd. Any idears?

So when you log it, unplug the regulators, and it will show 29k?

My CTS reads 29k when I unhook them and the motor knocks like crazy. No fuel comes out of the barb where the race plug is even at 29k. I don't have a hose on it. The thing that is weird is it don't gradually fall. It just goes from like 24k to 7500 in a instant

Can you feel a drastic drop in power when you were at the track? The truck would sputter and be very smokey if rail was dropping that low.

Ya. It launched great at 23000ish psi. Then dropped rail and doggish the rest of the track. Ran a 8.21 at 88mph
