Fuel pump like issue?

So I was having all the symptoms of a dying fuel pump, replaced that with a new one from BHR. But now after a long drive it is back. I was thinking possibly a clogged filter but i thought I read that even if it was completely clogged the fuel could bypass it. I'm not getting any CEL just can't rev all the way after a semi long drive and if i drive long enough it will start to die.

Coils plugs wires were done about 7-8k miles ago, and were upgraded to the BHR stuff.

The reason i was thinking maybe the fuel filter is because it's just like that bad fuel pump just not as bad now so i was thinking with the more powerful fuel pump it just manages to push more fuel through for longer
