crazy fuel pressure & engine speeds

What this means is that if you have larger tires and a corrected speedo via programming, you will probably never have the right trans slip ratio or gear, but the MPG calcuations should still be close. 

 

235/85 R16 vs 265/75 R16 which is 1mm taller and 2 Rev/Mile less. But +3 MPH off at 65 MPH ??? Hua? Manual Transmission no slip...

One thing I'm noticing is the speed sometimes jumps around. Like it'll  jump 3 to 10 miles an hour high and then come back down. This is with smooth study acceleration also

Nope, the water hammer killed the fuel pressure sensor. You'll need a new fuel pressure sensor and relocate the sensor away from the VP44. This is one reason my fuel pressure sensor is mounted near the ABS module this gives over 6 feet of tube run away from the VP44 and pulses fade with distance. I'm sunning an ISSPro snubber and a needle valve which the needle valve has no purpose other to close the line if a leak occurs. 

 

So what did you do to move it, just get some ends and a length of fuel line? Do you think a small line would help to even out the pulses since it would stretch/absorb more? I just ordered a new sensor, gotta love eBay sales, I got 15% off :-)
