Default cutting out

I just installed 30 lb. injectors,a 255 lph fuel pump, and a new mass air meter. The car starts up and idles ok, but when I floorit the car cuts out and acts like it is overloading. I can rev it up in nuetral and it does ok. Around 3000 rpm under a load it stalls and falls on its face. Any ideas?

Fuel pressure is 40 at idle. When it cuts out it seems to jump to around 44

New Trick Flow pump. Injectors used from someone I know ( I say that because I know they work) and the mass air sensor is new and tuned for 30lb. Could it be plug gap? It is stock ignition. Maybe a bad fuel pump even though it is new?

40lbs of FP at idle is way too high, is that w/ vacum? or w/out? it should be about 40lbs w/ out vacum

Im assuming by sock you mean the white filter looking square and if that is the case the pump came with a new one. The timing is 14 adv. The tank looked dirty, and I wonder if the stronger pump isnt sucking up dirt that the stock pump was too weak to pick up.

It is 40 lb. with vacume off. Should I plug the vacume line when I do this? I didnt.
