help fuel pressure falling
ok i know this has been discussed before but here me out anyways i have an my00 with a comptech sc ap2 pulley ap2 fpr aem water meth. car was running great a week ago battery failed sat 4 days new batt go for drive and above 7500 it starts leaning out first upper 13s then lower 14s i go home fuel pressure gauge on at idle i feed it 6 psi fuel pressure reads 85psi but when under load hits 80 and abruptly falls to 70 so i put a relay on fuel pump which is a fullblown 290 rebuilt fpr some dimpling on fuel disk in the bottom of the regulator so i used a body hammer and dolly to flatten them still has a catch at 80psi drops to 75 then goes back up to near 85 at redline but afr is 13 to 12.8 i also pulled the pump and checked the fuel line all was well not sure where to go from here and i know standalone is the way to go but not an option right now any thoughts on this?

so bleeding meth system helped but now going down the road a steady speed the car starts losing power give it gas and it goes away static fuel pressure it 65 psi any ideas please somebody help

It will need to run at 65psi at idle, thing is its sky high now and will be into the high 90's at WOT, once you start going past 100 you really push the fuel pump and run the risk of the injectors going static.
