Default Likely fuel flow issues

1990 C4 L98 ZF 6sp. Appear to have a fuel flow issue, particularly at wide open throttle. New fuel injectors match flow in the last 6 months. Doesn't always occur but usually during competition runs in Autocross.

Thoughts?

Fuel pressure reading taken by you at idle speeds and WOT ?

fuel pressure is usually not intermentent, if its low its always low, if its just doing it sometimes, i would look somewhere else,like a sensor

I'm asking 2 different questions; 1, what does matching fuel pressure mean, and 2, what is the fuel pressure at wide open throttle.

The injectors are flow matched(each injector flows the same amount during a given amount of time), not matching fuel pressure.

Got it! I'm a little slow sometimes on Mondays (and other days too).
