Just got done with efuel and it doesn't seem to the take off power as it used to. Has 60psi to the fuel bowl. I did go with riffraff high flow banjo bolts but I don't think that would make a difference? I went with a super duty system with frame mounted pump. Runs great but seems lacking power when taking off, could be in my head after it has sat for 2 weeks of not driving. Boost seems fine so I think I can rule that out. Is the power curve a little different with efuel?
New efuel and low take off power?

Yeah, something is definitely wrong.

Are you able to monitor fuel pressure in the cab when you accelerate?

I can monitor the fuel pressure with a gauge, I will have to do that. I used the superduty fuel bowl, factory lines, high flow riffraff fittings to heads, and frx to get rid of the dead head. It almost feels like a boost leak. I'm going to test for leaks first.

Why???? Besides better performance going to E-fuel, is to get rid of that crap in the valley. The OBS already had a quasi-regulated return. Where did you install the SD fuel pump.

I don't like all the filters under the truck and putting a system together. I like keeping things factory when I can as with most my mods. The stock system worked great, but the new pumps suck and I can't get more than a year out of them.
When I did my first e fuel, I used the SD fuel bowl but.... I put fuel through the bowl, did away with the SD fuel spring and the "stock" fuel lines.
Instead I plumbed 2 lines in the front of the heads from the bowl then into a regulator at the back. I thought that was a better design.
