i wouldn't suggest boosting until you find the problem.

Check the lines, possibly a intentional "kink" in the hardlines could assist in building pressure? But find out what the problem is as that is kinda a B.S. solution that would hurt you in the longrun.

What are your injectors? Is your stock FPR still in place on the rail?

the FCs have notoriously shitty electrical systems powering the fuel pump, i have even measured one FC pushing 300+WHP that was dropping voltage to below 6volts under a load. check the voltage at the fuel pump and/or rewire it directly off the battery with it's own relay(note this will affect your emissions if you are trying to keep it smog legal you cannot do this without an adjustable ECU due to it being too rich at idle).

if you want to keep a system similar to the stock one but with a better controller and that can boost voltage to 20 volts and fuel pump efficiency try the keny belle boost-a-pump. i have one customer who is running it and it seems like a decent system, then again he is pushing the efficiency barrier of a supra pump so.. not like he had a choice.
