Damn KA Bogging

My ride has been fixed for about a month now but I figured I'd just reopen this to state what my problem was this whole time so someone can possibly help themselves with it. My fuel pump was bad or in the process of going. The only reason I found out was one day I decided to reseal my cam sprocket cover because it was slightly leaking. To make a long story short I fucked up my timing. When I got my timing right my shit wouldn't run, couldn't touch the throttle w/o it dying. So I tested cps and it was good. 5.10 reading at the ignition intervals. So I figured I got spark but no gas and made a fuel pressure gauge and installed it after the fuel filter and got a reading of 17-19psi when it primed and the few seconds it would last when cranked, and same reading before filter(filter good pump bad). Dropped a new pump in and she cranked right up. But found my vac leak (egr crap). Removed all the egr mess with a block off plate and a combo of a homemade cut to shape leather gasket and a plenty of black permatex. All I had to do is reroute the fpr to that line beside/behind brake booster line. It runs sooooooooo much better and faster I've highly reconsidered my goals of 350-400hp. I think 250-300hp would be plenty for a while. Thanks everyone who helped and I hope this helps everyone with the infamous ka bogging.

Thanks man, you were a huge help as well. Oh and the leather thing was because I put it on with just permatex and it leaked so for a quick fix I was like why not. Free gasket. Leather gaskets are ballin (lol) noone knows about those.
