Car struggles to make fuel pressure

phunk

Does your regulator have a vacuum line on it or a boost only line? Where is it hooked up? Does pressure raise at idle, and go down when you rev the engine?

I see that your fuel pump is red... is that a China knockoff 255? If so, you should replace that. Your fuel pump pickup should not be falling off.. get one that attaches properly to that pump with the circular lock how its supposed to be. The one you are using is for the stock pump.

Dont put holes in the bucket, no reason to do that.

You car should be running very lean if its actually dropping 10+psi fuel pressure from how it was tuned. Is your car running lean?
