I've driven around all day, and its really disheartning watching that gauge suck down with the throttle. I really would be happy to see it sitting at 9 psi all the time like it was yesterday before I moved the sensor, but with the sensor in its new location ;)

Its shimmed and ported :D

I dont have trouble maintaining rail pressure, I do wonder how though since I'm pulling the gauge so far down. WOT on a 2800 PW and I pulled the gauge down to 3 psi

3psi is still a positive pressure Larry! That means your still getting enough fuel.
Gm doesn't even reccomend a filter change with stock tuning until -5psi which leads me to believe the CP3's are designed to work with a bit of a negative draw on them.

FWIW, mine is at -2psi with a new filter at idle-no lift pump.

I think its time you changed to a bigger fuel line:)

Even at idle mine is 9 psi and doesnt seem to move,but ive only gotton to 1/2 throttle:eek:

I like the fass over my KDs but it SOO loud

Did we rubber mount that thing? Maybe it would help if we did?

Chad has a 2" firepump laying around!!:D:joker:

What about a 12gal/min slip tank pump?
