Default Fuel presure

i put my fuel presure gauge in today and i dont know what I think, had a question hope you guys can answer.. I dont know if this is normal or maybe its part of my problem but the fuel presure goes down at higher RPM's, the presure at idle is around 95 psi and it falls to about 60 psi at around 5500 6000 rpm's.. whats the deal.. thought it should be constant

fuel delivery mate no point fitting an adjustable FSR and not getting a performance fuel pump and filter, then there's the injectors to take the load

good evening and that's exactly what im saying, delivery/ air induction/ chipping and the list goes on, if they are not matched then you will feel the lose normally this is done by the chipper/sparky on the rolling road to adjust the max performance but you need the parts to compliment the results

consider this then, you have a fuel tank and a 5-6 bar fuel pump max and you upgrade the engine parts ( are you with me so far ??? ) now the engine sounds raunchy but dies at sat 4k rpm ( why ) now think about it before you answer

i understand what your trying to say, i think / lol but as far as i know im not breaching the limitations of the stock fuel system you said it your self that the stock fuel pump is good to 5-6 bar, and most big turbo kids or even the pc-16 file only calls for 3 bar and biger injectors.. this problem im having just stared a few weeks ago and it ran fine for a long time, and i have not read of anyone with my ko4 program ever upgrading the fuel pump

there is a saying ( demand out stripes the supply ) worth noting the Ko4 is very demanding
