I thought the same thing as well. We are not nearly as near to 100% duty cycle as the guys are at sea level yet we run out of pump before them, it makes no sense using conventional logic. Yet we saw it happen to 3 EVO's and when I changed my pump and re-dynoed the car it was gone (and we did 50+ runs in a row)

maybe the aggressive timing maps in the lower rpm's make it neccessary to up the fuel pressure at higher rpms??
Don't think this matters, it may be a venting/ return problem and the extra pressure from the new pump compensates?

although i took the cheaper route, (s-afc) i don't seem to be having any problems. only took 4 pulls to tune it too, and the last two were almost a perfect single line. very consistant.
Mine was perfect as well...till run 19. So it takes a while. I belive your car would do it as well if you ran it long enough, You should change your pump, you never know. At the very least get a fuel pressure guage (I think they cost more than the pump though!)

glad to see that shiv can mock someone, but not thank anyone when they defend him or his products. that's customer service!!!
Like MP5 states that's Shiv's sense of humor, He's a good guy. Go back a couple of pages when I took him out to sushi and you'll see I beat on him a little as well I have to be nice to him just before he tunes my car

Dude dont sweat the Shiv humor. But you presented it in a confrontational way. As far as the flow of a pump at altitude it takes more energy to pump the same volume
Air pressure alone has zero affect on fuel pump volume.

i guess some day i'll need a bigger pump anyway. once i get more research done on better mods, more power, safe power that kind of thing. i already have a couple of fuel pressure gauges, maybe i'll throw one on and go drive it hard, maybe second creek or something, and see how the fuel pressure is effected. good reason to go to the track, right?
