I have a 91 rs vert with a newly installed 383..what regulator do I need to run this carb with a tbi factory pump..will the Holley work that is rated for 41/2-9psi? I believe the tbi pump runs around 15psi..I don't wanna blow the diaphragm out of a regulator right out of the box..what's everyone else using?

My Holley Blue Pump pushes out 14 psi and I use a Holley regulator to bring it down, it's the same one you're talking about and it's actually the one that they usually bundle in with the blue pump. I would assume the 1 psi difference wouldn't hurt it.

I'm running a Mallory 4309 regulator on my carb'd 350 and the stock V6 fuel pump. It has no problems knocking the pressure down to 6 psi, and the V6 pump outs out a lot higher pressure than the TBI pump.
