Can you lower your fuel pressure? It may be worth a try, 5 1/2 should be fine but it's borderline.

I just installed the new floats and set them to 1/2 with a 1" drop, truck runs great until 45-50 mph when it bogs down at cruising speed, WOT is fine as I can just throttle through it. Could this be due to the timing being off ???
