As far as the fuel pressure test goes, don't just check it at idle, rev the motor. However, since it's a rebuild I think HeyYou might be on to something.

Hey guys sorry I haven't posted it's been a crazy week here. Anyway fuel pressure stays at 43psi throughout the whole rpm range. Vacuum Is 30 at idle and once I give it some gas it drops to 10-8 and stays there. Could a valve be held open?

You have some serious vacuum at idle...... Did you install your cam straight up?

I lined up the timing marks between the cam and crank sprocket. The gauge I have is a sunpro vac/boost gauge it reads 0-30 on the vac side and I just about had the gauge pinned

Are the sprockets not suppose to have the notches both at 12 oclock ? Putting the cam sprocket at 6 and the crank at 12 is #6 tdc.

It's a dual roller set from mopar performance I have it set on the stock timing marks but I do have the option to advance or retard 4 degrees. It's a Hughes cam and the specs are 208/214 @50 lift 512/520 lift and 114lsa it does thump pretty good at idle more then I was expecting. The timing chain was installed with the cam sprocket ting mark facing down and the crank mark facing up at the cam sprocket timing mark I had my engine builder freind help me with this, he built a couple mopar small blocks so I'm
Confident the cam and crank timing is on

Like I said, I think you have it at #6 tdc. Maybe this will help.
