Is the fuel pressure staying somewhere reasonable? What timing/plugs/gap is it running?

the sc was just put on about 6months ago but has gave us problems from the begining we think the fuel injectors are shuting off due to to much presser they're stock the plugs are gaped.

Just something I experienced on a ford. We had to put a one way valve between the map sensor and the vacuum line. Cause every time he hit boost it would fall on its face. Also if you have 22 lbs injectors you need like 80 to 100 psi fuel pressure. Gap plugs at .35 or less.
