With the vaccum line to the fuel pressure regulator disconnected and plugged......do you still have problems going faster than you mentioned...and issues going up hills?.......I am hoping for the fuel pressure regulator vs fuel pump, because of cost.........although it is not a common failure.....I can happen.
With it disconnected had no problems going up hill/fast or uphill fast

going to call around and see if I know anyone with a fuel pressure tester.

testing the fuel pressure, should it stay the same idol vs load or should it increase?
