I logged a pull after my new Stage 2 LPFP install. I noticed that before the pull, the psi was around 72....I'm pretty sure this is what the DME is supposed to target. But after the the, it help right around 85psi......even in park, and at idle...85psi. If I restart the car, it will go back to a target of around 72. But if you put a load on the motor, it's back up to 85psi...is that normal?

Also....are these timing corrections right after the shifts anything to worry about?

Running the MHD V7 Stage 2+ 93 oct tune.

If you have the stage 2 pump. I can only say that’s fine, obviously if someone knows something about the stage 2 LPFP that I don’t, they might find that weird.

Your timing corrections are interesting, what OCTANE map are you using and what OCTANE are you actually using ?
Changed sparks and coils ?

I believe over -3 of timing is considered bad. So it looks like something that maybe a map would fix ?

As far as the fuel pressure, I wouldn't worry about it too much yet. From what I've observed on my own car, sometimes, presumably when the fuel system is unable to maintain its target, it will go into a sort of "failsafe" mode where it disables the closed loop correction and runs a static 55% duty cycle at lower loads, and 100% at WOT. It will most likely adapt to your new pump after some driving, and this won't happen anymore.

For the timing corrections, can you log a pull starting around 3/3.5k RPM in 3rd gear? As long as you have no corrections within the gear, you're probably good. I don't have an auto trans myself, but from what I've read, post shift timing corrections are somewhat common. If you want to get rid of those, you'll likely need to get a custom tune
