Yeah guys, AMS was nice enough to flash it back to stock. They are awesome way better than the stealership..I am going to get this relay and see if that will make a difference..

YOu need to connect a voltage meter directly to the fuel pump to do that...

PROBLEM SOLVED...so I decided to ohm out all the relays to see if they were bad..I pulled every single one....one by one of course..lol..and they all were good..so I am thinking..wtf.. Then I decided to take a look at my boost gauge. For power I wrapped wire around a fuse and stuck it inside of the fuse panel in the passenger compartment. I checked the hot lead and the ground...bingo there it was.. the ground was grounding out on something..the wire was hanging..but touching another wire...to top it off the wire for some reason was a bit frayed. So I tighten everything back up and put it in it's place..took the car for a spin..and bada bing bada boom..car is pulling like no tomorrow..well..for what can be expected on the stock fuel map..but everything is ok...

THANKS GUYS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!!!!

Dude, go to auto zone and get some add-a-circuit kits, one mini and one regular.. costs like 2 bucks each and way safer than wrapping wires around fuse legs.

Glad you got it sorted but dam, think how much not spending the two dollars could have cost you had AMS not found the symptom
