    Bad KR on WOT.. sometimes

    I'm seeing some gnarly KR at WOT no matter how much timing I pull back. It looks like I'm going lean, but this doesn't always happen. I noticed if I ease into it, I can keep the A/F proper and don't go lean, but here's an example of when it didn't work out for me. I'm running a 6.0 with an LSA using a boost referenced regulator on a return style fuel system. I feel like I'm going to destroy this motor (again..) if I keep trying to figure this out. Asking the community if there are any issues on the tune that sticks out. I have no problem adding any info to this if requested. I'm attaching the tune, log and channel config files.

    Any adapter plates?

    No adapter plates, I'm running stock LS3 heads. The injectors are Fuel Injector Clinic 850cc on a 535 lph in-tank pump.

    This is going very lean in boost just about every time.

    You verified fuel pressure?

    Fuel pressure does seem like the culprit here. I wanted to reach out to folks who know better about tuning than I do to verify I'm not doing anything dumb with it before chasing down mechanical issues.

    Reason I ask is because the only change from when this wasn't happening to it is happening is the tune, which I sometimes make small adjustments - mostly the high octane table when I get pinging.

    The vehicle does have a VaproWorx controller that I suspect may not be ramping up the fuel pump like it should when the manifold pressure hits a threshold. I'm going to bypass this to see if it resolves the issue.

    Or just do it the way an actual technician does when investigating something similar, put a fuel pressure gauge on it that you can see from the seat and go drive it.

    Update: turns out it was going into KR due to going lean. It was not the tune, but fuel pressure. Turns out my Summit in-line filter screen had crap in it (new build, crap got in tank I'm sure) causing a restriction resulting in a pressure drop under demand. I now have a fuel pressure sender hooked up to my Dakota Digital RTX display so I can keep an eye on it in real time.

    Remember kids: check your fuel filter
