Dusten,
fuel pressure is in spec, it just dips sporadically...
unfortunately it will only happen about 2-3 times during a 100 mile drive. and it ONLY does it when it's hot (ie after 45 minutes of driving) So I might have to get a dash cam to get a video. Might not be a bad idea!

I usually never bring my car to a mechanic, try to do most things myself. But this issue seems a bit strange...

Thanks for the help guys.
Any dip in pressure should be a concern.

Make sure fuel lines are solid... Had a similar issue years ago [early 2000's] & spent over $600 at Ford dealership because I was 200 miles from home.

Fast-forward 10 years later, but near home- so I limped back home & dropped the tank and discovered this.
The Ford dealer used the WRONG tubing & it was clearly marked!

Bought an aftermarket aluminum Y-Connector and fuel-rated gates-brand tubing

problem solved.

just wanted to give you guys an update:

A ford engineer told me it may be the key ignition system that is triggering an "OFF" position making the computer go haywire to bog and stall. They told me to wiggle the key mechanism around.

After I did this, I have not had the problem in 2 months. Completely fixed, very weird
Still stumped....
