I need instructions on how to adjust the air fuel ratio and for that matter the rpm as well
I have bought this car from my best friends parents (cancer at 42) its not fair!
anyway I went to a dyno today and wow 547hp at the crank
but here is the problem the motor started to lean out at 5400rpm I bumped up the fuel pressure to 78psi but the run got worse
Wait let's start over
vortec R trim 15-18 lbs boost
TFS old style heads/bread box upper / gt40 lower /proM mass air/75mm bbk throttle /42lbs injectors (they have a green line around them but i don't know who makes them and if they are 42 lbs)
ok thats enough to get the idea The fuel pump i am not sure
the dyno rep stoped the test after the second run because the fuel leaned out worse. The 1st run started the fuel pressure 62lbs the fuel ratio was 13.0 all the way to 5400 rpm and then peak off the chart the test run only went to 6000rpm
well the dyno rep said that i need to test the injectors (pulse)/maybe a bigger fuel pump.
I need help

i would probably start with a new fuel pump if youve checked everything else. check your injector harness to make sure all the injectors are fine and check your tps voltage. i think that can cause a lean condition. check you o2 sensors also. sounds like a pretty bad ass car you picked up...got any pics?

You didnt mention much about your fuel system, or lack of one. 78psi is way to high. Get a good pump, maybe run some new lines and get a set of rails.

Thanks for the input ,
I have a second pump (it's the same pump! back-up) I will hook it up with the current one in line and see if the fuel pressure will maintain 60 psi when I go into Boost
I will send pictures and let you know how everything goes
Thanks
