Gas pedal/full throttle

I ran a mr. Gasket inline pressure regulator and set it on 3, gauge on the fuel rail has been reading about 6.5... Seems to like it. I still think it needs some more tuning .... Timing and mixture maybe... Pressure regulator stopped the bouncing fuel pressure gauge and excessive flooding...- 79K10
