picked up a gauge have just over 30 at the rail on idle it you move the throttle it jumps to just under 40 and the flat spot is still there it is acting like an old carb with a bad accelerator pump

CkPS is a possibility. So is the cam sensor.
Also check your coil. Could be a bad connector to it or it's getting ready to die on you.
All that said, I think you should have 39 psi at idle. Better check that, as I'm going from memory, but if I'm right,, there's your problem.

i changed the fuel filter increased the pressure at the rail to about 37 but the flat spot is still there just not as bad if i unhook the vacuum line at the regulator the pressure goes to 40 and no flat spot so regulator ?
