OK I installed my kirban afpr a week ago and the car ran fine. Yesterday I replaced the fuel pump with a 255 lph pump. anyways i have about a 1/4 tank of gas in it. when I was test driving it, it would every once in a while lose all power and feel like I was hitting the brakes, that was only at full throttle once in a while. What could that be from? does the bigger tank make my fuel pressure go up or down? Cause after
I put on the afpr I had the pressure at 40 with the hose off. But I havent checked the pressure yet with the new pump in yet. Thanks for any help. btw it sputters at about 3000 or so RPM's

Put some more gas in the tank. This is an often reported problem when the tank get too low. Under hard accel or cornering the gas isn't at the pickup tube so you lose power.

Thats what I thought, but with the old pump, I ran it hard down to E, with no problems. Did you guys use the white filter, that comes with the kit? Cause I did and it didnt seem to fit over the end of the pump very well. Could that possibly be the problem? Thanks.
