My truck is finally running great! Only issue i have now if its even an issue is my lift pump psi! on big tunes such as 150hp and up it drops to zero at WOT. Any suggestions? I have it set at 10psi right now so im not sure why it isnt keeping up?:confused: Rail pressure does hold up though:)

What lift pump? Sounds like it's doing it's job if your holding rail pressure. I believe what you need is more flow to hold a higher pressure at WOT.

Think you will be fine at that point. Psi will drop at WOT no matter what. It sounds like your lift pump is doing what it was designed to do.

As long as its not pulling a vacuum your good. So over 5 is fine, you won't gain anything from turning it up. Mine pulls to 6 idling at 13 +-
