Default low fuel pressure

I've been tuning the truck for the new front mount and cannot get the AFR spot on, it keeps jumping around. I don't like absorbing other problems into my tune to compensate...so I checked out fuel pressure, and its all over the place. Most times including idle and cruise, it stays around 43-45psi. At WOT it varies from around 45-55, but it is never constant. There's a 10psi fluctuation at least every second. I'd guess fuel filter first, but since it only delivers 43psi at idle, I'm not so sure. I haven't heard of any issues with them...is the in-tank regulator going out?

Do the nnbs use some sort of pwm on the pumps? I thought I remembered reading something about that...

Pretty odd. I know the failing stocker on my old 4.8 set up, couldnt keep up but would drop very linearly at WOT. Enough to were I left it that away and still ran an OLSD tune with no problems.

IIRC a thread on here said the NNBS pumps were only sold as a complete assmbly

I know the newer Vettes use a variable output fuel pump. I would like to know if our NNBS truck have made this switch. My 09 also has a variable output alternator and I'm curious how that could effect the fuel pump output.
