How do you know you are running lean? Most have to much fuel with your ammount of mods.

If you can get it dynoed, then put it on the wide band O2 sensor. That way you will know for sure.

I agree. I had a Ramcharger with a 360 4bbl that had the same exact problem, better acceleration at part throttle. Turned out the stock cam was worn and could not deal with the increaed fuel the thermoquad put out at WOT. Although I dont think its you cam, you don't have near the miles my Ramcharger had. Check your plugs if they look like they are getting fouled faster than normal, you are definantly rich and it may be time for a computer upgrade.

you can replace the factory fuel pressure regulator(the one on the top of the fuel tank) with an elbow (I'm have some billet ones made), and then install an adjustable regulator under the hood...

I would recommend getting the Higher volume Holley fuel pump (replaces the factory one in the tank)

For boosted apps, just use a rising rate Regulator (progressive FMU) for fuel management...
why use a standard FMU and a seperate Fuel Pres. Regulator when you can you can just use the Rising Rate Regulator(IT works great on supercharged and turbocharged applications)

All of this is pretty easy to do, too...

I'd be glad to answer any other questions on this...

Later!

Tom...does it take awhile for the PCM to learn the new pump? I just had my Holley high flow pump installed a couple days ago. Do I have to reset the PCM for just that mod?

Nope... the PCM doesn't have to be reset and there is no learning curve since the pressure is still regulated to 49psi...
The Holley pump allows more volume while keeping the proper pressure...

IF you changed the fuel pressure, then the comupter would have to learn and adapt to the change...

Later!
