1990 gt, t5, trick flow heads, 30 lbs injectors. The car has run great since I bought it 6 months ago. Recently is has had an enginemmiss under load, and it feels like it is shutting off when you go to wide open throttle. I installed a new 255 LPH fuel pump when I bought it. Fuel pressure reads 36 at idle, 40 when the vacuum hose is unhooked. In second gear at 2000 rpm pressure is 32 psi, at 4000 rpm pressure drops to 25, and it takes a while to build pressure back up over 30 psi. Any suggestions, fuel pressure regulator, pump, vacuum leak?

I had a similar problem and it was the regulator...I would put an adjustable in since you have heads and injectors..etc

i have the exact same issue, i installed a new regulator and the issue remains, i do hear a vaccume leak at the firewall on the drive side, got to put new head gaskets on my ride so i will tackle the leak when i do those, post a reply if the regulator is your issue please

The car runs the same with the fuel pressure regulator hooked up or unhooked to the vacuum hose.
The fuel filter is clean, but I need to check the sock on the fuel pump.

Turns out the fuel pump was bad, replaced it and it is running fine.
