You try pulling the error codes to see if maybe theres a failing sensor.

If your racing, I would guess that the factory pump can't keep up. Replace the high pressure pump with a high flow unit.

Only way to tell FOR SURE is to run with a fuel pressure guage installed. Only problem is you can't see it at 70mph! So you have to take the hood off and secure to gauge where you can see it. Or just change it and see if it fixes it!
