not remembering your previous suggestion on checking accordian fuel line. What are you speaking of exactly?
as for troubleshooting. i've been over the entire system and beyond, multiple times. I'm going to keep going over it, but i'm getting very frustrated, because i think i've double checked every nut and bolt multiple times.
i'm willing to check anything again though, because i agree with you.

well, i double checked the original assembly before i took it apart,as did i double check the original radix setup (# 1 ) and all was well. the accordian tube was replaced with the new radix setup ( # 2 ).
how tight should the metal clamps be? i feel i tightened them very well. i clamped them till it almost touched. they seemed extremely tight, but not too tight to ruin the plastic.

what other parts of the install that affect fuel pressure, should i check.... yet again?
i've checked the entire install, twice. any particular systems/parts i should really spend extra time re-checking with a fine tooth comb? ( not that i haven't done the entire thing like that, twice. )

LoudAzzLoStepside,
I feel your pain, I have the exact same problem, My idle fuel pressure is @ 62 and at wide open drops to 50 and than creaps up alittle but never higher than 55 at WOT.
Magnacharger sent me out a new fuel pump going to install on thur. They also seem to think it is not the pump and it is a install issue but unlike you mine did great for the first 4 or so months and than droped. Not trying to steel your post but it does sound like the same problem.
