If ESS , AA, and VF say the regular pump is ok then I'm going back to it . Remember I was chasing the wrong pulley situation when I replaced mine . ( should have just changed my filter ) my two cents . Between my flywheel / clutch "upgrade " and this my new moto is if it ain't broke don't fix it lol . The problem of only improving one point of a stock system is the rest doesn't work together well . If you put in a lower bar fuel pressure gauge to make an aftermarket pump happy then you have to adjust the tune . It's a slippery slope .
My two cents

Are you still using your aeromotive pump, and did you upgrade the wiring yet? re-reading this thread, I think I need to, while I do the 525 upgrade...
Oh yeah Im still using the Aeromotive with stock wiring , it was the undersized injectors that originally can with the 525 kit that was the real problem ( the standard 445/500 injector) . I checked my fuel pressures and they were great so,once I ruled everything else out and looked at the injectors , and there it was all along . Undersized injectors caused ALL of my track related limp mode issues . The other improvements were nice and have helped I'm sure , but that was the key problem .
