Start with the basics.....when was the fuel filter last changed and have you checked fuel pump voltage under load ie long wires from multi metre to pump then road test it?

How long ago was it set up as this would have shown on the rollers if above problem.
VERY good idea to relay pump anyway, as well as doing the wires at same time even on std ones.

TOTD are very helpful, sure if you had the bits they would fit them if that was the problem, though I wopuld at least get the filter changed anyway.
The rollers will highlight the problem if it occurs on them.

i thought that you had to have a fuel pump upgrade when you got the norris chip as it runs so much more fuel then normal hence the reason why the power is unbelieveab;e for stage 1.
