the injectors are in it are the same psi as the stock so basically it is stock..would the fuel pressure regulator cause this?

FORD rates them differently than GM ... a 19 lb ford maybe be closer 20 a 21lb GM .... The constant needs to be changed in the prom ( might solve it )

aight i went out and fix my guages,everything works except for the tach/oil and replace the blown bulbs.i hook up a Gm code reader but i still get nothing from the light?would that be the ecm going bad causing the flooding problem.
