Need Some Advice

OK i went out tonight and i was itching for a race well little did I know my car would hate me. So here is my story of my problems anyone who thinks they know what could be wrong please chime in at any time.

my car at 45-55% throttle would go to 7psi but WOT it would only go to 5psi. When it would go to 5 PSI it would pull til 4000RPM's and then die til 5100 and pick back up and then shift for me at 6400rpms (yes i have an auto). I COULD NOT PULL on a Stock EG hatch gutted... When I looked at my Air Fuel Gauge it showed it going lean at the 4000RPM range and then back to rich at 5100. IS there a way to Adjust my Fuel Pressure with the SF system? Or Should i go return conversion and E-manage. I know 1 thing is for sure. I am getting e-manage and dyno tuning it. I am going to check my plugs tomorrow and do a compression test as well. I will post my results tomorrow.

did you ever get your vafc II tuned? rather than setting all the fuel maps at 0? I definately think you have fuel delivery problems....if money/times not an issue id do return and emanage
