Disabling LS1 fuel pressure regulator for TPI

Exactly what the subject says. i need to disable the LS1 regulator so the fuel rail regulator will do the regulatin'. i also need to know if i disable it, is it permanently disabled or can it be re-enabled for later LS1 use?

All you're doing is taking the guts out of a relief valve.

Been awhile, can't remember if it's put together so it can be taken apart and put back together again. My inclination is once it's gutted, it stays gutted.

IIRC, the 99-02 V6 Fbodies had the plastic tank as well, but without a regulator built into the sending unit/pump assembly.

The in-tank regulator in the plastic tank is just held in with a clip, you can put it back in later

Thanks for the replies everyone, we decided not to drop the tank and just wait to put in the LS1 during spring break or summer
