Post Fuel press. regulator

How much difference will there be performance wise? I have a fully modified motor and I am finishing up the missing pieces. Whats the best kind and how do you know what pressure to set your car at?

I like my BBk afpr, and i have an extra one in the original shrinkwrap for a 5.0/5.7 tpi. I think they help if you have any mods done, but useless for a stock motor. email me at m0scholl@wmich.edu if you are interested in the bbk.

My cousin used to bracket race his 91 every weekend and he said that was probably the best bank ofr the buck mod he's ever done!

I would do mine too but I have the $12000 motor on the way so I really see no point.

Just remember that it would be a good idea to get a fixed mount fuel preasure gauge so you know what you'r setting it at.

my motor is very modified and it runs awesome but I cant help but feel that it should perform a lot better than this. Ive got a chip being made right now and that should help. I have a 91 Z28 355cid TPI motor and am also wondering what my timing should be set to. I have to be careful with pinging cause I have Hyperutectic pistons and heard pinging will damage them.

Hey IROC305 what type of exhaust do you have? I heard you leaving Broadmoor the other night. Sounded sweet! Your buddy with the balck 91Z28, does he work at the Richmond Centre?
