I would have to set base pressure to 35 which would be too low

I am also curious to see info from EFI live as to HP and TQ output based on the software. I think you are over shooting your hp a bit on guesstimating and calculators..

It has enough power to push my 5500lb truck from 0-60 in 4.2 sec with a 3200 stall converter and a cam that doesnt come in till 3600 rpm and shifting at 6500 vs 6800

I am not doubting the truck runs good, so please do not take it that way. I think however your pulling your hair out over a fuel set up when you do not have a real number to base it off of. Just like Roger said, when he ran his 11.x he was not making near the HP to the wheels as you claim you are making.. Ford L's made only about 375 at the crank and had a 0-60 ruffly in the same range and was only about 800 lbs lighter..

Yea. I guess. I just redid the math and I'm more like low mid 500s. It does run a lot stronger with the new fmic. Hoping the fuel pump will cure my issue
