i think you need to understand what a regulator actually does mate.

how do you know you need more fuel. whats wrong with the fpr thats already in situ. i think you could be wasting some money here. especially as you say its boosting fine at 20 psi already

cars run a fuel pump in the tank and run much more fuel than is needed to the fuel rail or carb. A regulator keeps a certain amount of fuel pressure in the rail or pipe to carb and then sends the rest back to the tank.

hope that makes sence.

check the events page and boards for up coming events mate:agree:
