I'm grasping at straws now, anybody have any other ideas as to what might be causing these symptoms ?

No codes and it seem to run better but after testing connections and injectors and all have checked good I think it must have been wishful thinking..

110 lbs? And it hasn't blown anything up yet? Has the regulator been shimmed?

Do you have a diagnostic tool like scanner etc. .?

surprisingly no, nothing has blown up and I don't know if it has been shimmed. Not familiar with the workings of the regulator so don't know what I'm looking for. All I have now is a code reader but have just ordered a scanner and should be here by monday

Problem solved... blown lower o-ring on injector which looked to be caused by a loose hold down bolt on the injector which allowed compression to back feed into the fuel system causing my fluctuating fuel pressure.... Thanks for everyone's input
