It would certainly be at the top of MY list. Do you have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator?

I agree with the fuel pump...adjustable fuel pressure is not neccessary sine the stock one will do fine...what good is the fp if you are going to run it at the stock psi? however, your C&L can contribute to your car running lean...what you can do is try to rotate the MAF clockwise or counter-clockwise...to find the sweet spot...
