the only gauge I have for fuel pressure is what came with the edge...mounted to the filter.

I will check fuel pressure next time I have it out but it is doggy from the start in level 6...off by about 1.5-2 seconds in 1/4 mile.

I figure it was the stock exhaust...

That would be the first place I would look. I would bet if you don't have an aftermarket lift pump that in level 6, and even some other levels, you are just running out of fuel delivery.

On level 6 you better have at least 14 psi or you are in trouble with a capital T.

goes all the way down to 4 psi....will a fass fix this ? how many GPH do I need? only thing I have upgraded so far is the edge and a KN filter....I will put a bigger exhaust on later and maybe upgrade the intake.

Luke has posted the units that will fix this issue. You will want to monitor FP like a hawk otherwise you are just getting ready to spend more $$ on an injection pump.

Dropping the tank is much easier IMO. I thought about pulling the bed, but the tank came down very easy and it was 1/2 full which made it a bit more difficult to move around. The 5th wheel hitch was also a big factor in my decision though.
