you can just drill a hole in your stock pressure regulator cap and weld a small bolt on it and screw a bolt in .... the poor mans adjustable regulator

You want something to add more HP and you have bad cylinder leakage?!?!?

Fix the piston rings - that alone will help your HP.

I know TPIS sells a "FAST PACK". That might be the one you are talking about. I seriously doubt that any AFPR is going to add 27 HP... especially with all the cylinder leakage.

yea true but my 305 tpi isnt putting out what it should but i will tell u my egr valve is bad i hooked it up 2 my frineds snap on scanner and it says egr not functioning no big deal i just need 2 get paid to get it done right now im getting pretty close to 12 mpg. Very true about how i should fix the piston rings but its only a 305 if it blows up im gonna get myself a 350 out a Iroc-z or something im just hoping it will bolt up to a t5 trans
