Default weird starting problem......

Ok so i have a magnacharger kit on my car no other fuel mods besides what comes with this kit. Now every once in a while id say maybe 5-6 times in the 3 months they car wont start sometimes it will just turn over like there is no fuel, and some times it will start but be all boggy and barley running like its low on fuel pressure. Im pretty sure it has to do with fuel pump/pressure. is there somthing i can check or change to diagnose this? one of the times it didnt start for about 15 minutes. i dont wanna be in an emergency and have this thing not start on me. so any help would be much appreciated thanks !

Get hold of a fuel pump pressure gage, hook it to your fuel rail, and tape it to the outside of your windshield. That will let you take it for a drive and see whats coming off with your fuel pressure under load. You may have to do what I did and have a little longer hose made up for the gage to reach the windshield.

well driving around at WOT and stuff its fin, just randomly it wont start , im thinking now it may be the wiring for the ignition system or somthing for the kit. i did notice a few of the conections could be a little better.
