Hi Casey,
I remember reading an old post from about 2002 that was talking about problems running some 255 pumps and the resistor. As I recall some high volume pumps draw so much current that the voltage drop through the stock resistor lowers the voltage so much the pumps don't deliver enough pressure. I think this is your problem. What you might do is get another resistor and connect it in parallel with the original one so the voltage does not drop too low. The only time the pumps need to run at full voltage is when your boosting, otherwise it just causes extra wear and tear on the pumps.

Now all I need is my adjustable regulator to come in, and I can fine tune things. With the stock setup I got 31#'s with the jumper(high pump speed only) I got 59#'s With the dual resistors I got 38#'s These were with the vacuum line connect; so I just gotta adjust it down and it should all be set.
Thanks Again
